Hey Guys quick one on rear mirror dip when reverse is selected
I know how to switch it off permanent
But i am wondering is there a way to switch it off for just one reverse ... as in when im in a multi storey car park mirrors on the ground is a bit inconvenient but the rest of the time its fine. so is there away to inhibit movement without turning car off etc ??
thanks Phil.

You can set each mirror to your choice. No change is an option. The handbook is your friend see if you can set memory one to dip and memory 2 to not dip without changing seat positions

In relation to your question, I have set seat memory 1 to dip when reversing, then un-dipped (manually drove them up) and saved that in setting 2. That way I can have the best of both worlds without the seat moving!

EDIT: Just read Wayne's post properly!

The mirrors don't dip to a particular position but move a set amount from wherever they've been set as "normal" when reverse is selected. So one way of reducing the inconvenience is to set the mirrors slightly elevated in the normal driving position. When reverse is selected they don't dip as far.... (well that was my solution to the problem:angel::D)
