Driver side mirror - moving?
Hi Guys,
It may just be me, but I'm curious does the driver side mirror move with the steering wheel to allow better vision when turning? I feel like sometimes it has moved, but I may be crazy. Cheers! |

And just to be clear it's the passenger side that does this. Never the drivers side.

If the driver side mirror is moving (i.e. dipping down) you have to be careful that you're not somehow leaning on the armrest controls. This is something that happened with me once and it's easy since the mirror selector is often in the driver side position.

It could possibly be a hallucination due to the dual curvatures on the mirrors. The outer edge has a sharper curvature allowing you a wider angle. It takes some getting used to.
Other reasons could be LSD or Shrooms, before getting into the vehicle. |

Do you need the premium package for that? No matter what position the switch is in, my right mirror won't tilt down when in reverse.

It is very strange that just the passenger side mirror tilts when in reverse. It makes the feature nearly useless.

Probably less, seems to me it's needed far more on passenger side. |

Hi, how did you disable that? For some reason, mine is no longer tilting toward the ground ... I must have disabled it accidentally. I would like that to be enabled.
