Exterior Mirror Dip when reversing

Mine don't.

Followed the instructions in the manual - mirror select set to drivers side - into reverse - nothing. Car in reverse, set the mirror to a dipped position manually and save it - nothing else happens - it just stays there sullenly...

Any thoughts? Could it be disabled? If it is, can I re-enable it?

According to the manual, the mirror dip will only work when the mirror select switch is set to the drivers side. But mine doesn't work regardless of where the mirror select switch is set!

Is it possible to adjust the angle of dip? Mine goes almost horizontal! The old P38 was much better in this respect!

Cappo: yes that's simple - just select reverse, adjust and store against the number button you are using for seats etc.

Hi

My new 2011 model has just developed wonky mirrors too - they dipped great but now have stopped moving down, something for the first service list. Not worried though, love the car :@) 2005 L322 Vogue Gold gone

Simes, not that it helps, but I can confirm what you say in that the mirror selector does have to be switched to the 'adjust the drivers side mirror' position else the near side one doesn't dip when reverse is selected. Bit dumb really, you'd think it would just automatically override the mirror setup switch in the first place! Steve

2002 hse here, no mirror dip, and the passenger mirror seems to have no memory, the drivers side remembers settings, but the passenger side just stays where I move it to.
Any suggestions?

Ta,

Fraser

My passenger mirror goes haywire when reversing - to the extent if I forget to stop it from doing the reverse adjust, by having the adjust switch set to passger, I have to get my wife to manually pull it back in through the window.

Potentiometer issue according to IIDTool....

The mirror will only dip if the car has memory seats fitted.

I assume it was working before, as oppose to it never having worked ?

So if you have an HSE or something without memory seats the function won't be there.

Sorry if you've had your car for 5 years and know it inside out - just trying to cover all bases. Smile
