Step by step.
- 01
Park on level ground, apply the parking brake, keep the brake pedal depressed and switch the ignition on.
- 02
Open Settings, Car, Door Mirror Setting and make sure Reverse Tilt is enabled.
- 03
Shift to Reverse while remaining stationary; the passenger mirror should move to its tilt-down position.
- 04
Use the mirror control to adjust the passenger mirror to the desired curb-view angle.
- 05
Shift back to Park and keep the parking brake applied.
- 06
Press SET, then press and hold memory button 1 or 2 until the confirmation chirp sounds within five seconds.
- 07
Recall that memory position and shift to Reverse while stationary to verify the saved tilt angle.
Important limits
- Perform every adjustment while fully stopped with the brake pedal depressed; never adjust or register a memory position while driving.
- The mirror normally returns to its original position about nine seconds after leaving Reverse.
- Saving to memory button 1 or 2 replaces the previous position stored to that button.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the mirror does not tilt, confirm Reverse Tilt is enabled under Door Mirror Setting and that a compatible memory position is active.
- ✓If the angle is not retained, repeat the adjustment and press SET followed by the chosen memory button within five seconds until a chirp sounds.
- ✓If the setting is enabled but the mirror does not move, do not force it; check for ice or obstruction and seek retailer inspection if needed.
