I'll be having it checked at the next service.
Did you follow the manual and actually set the position that you want it tilted down to? I had to set my normal viewing position AND my position while reverse parking.

The last post is what will have happened. I thought mine was wrong and the tilting only worked on one key, you have to program exactly how it tilts - and per key memory as well.

We will see. I read the online user guide as well as my owners manual. It used to work. I have the feature or it wouldn't show up under options on my settings. The owners manual seems to go around and around referring you to different pages, but I don't see how I need to do any more than check the box in the settings screen.

Put your car in reverse, let the mirror tilt whichever way it does then while still in reverse adjust the mirror to where you'd like it to point and presto,,,, done deal.

when you put it back in drive it returns to its normal driving position and next time you put it in reverse it will be right where you want it.
