Reversing mirror

[simon superb]

I have a Superb mark 2 and sometimes when I'm reversing the passanger mirror adjusts so I can see the curb, randomly it then doesn't do this. Can someone help explain how I set this to be on or off?

Is your mirror adjustment k nob set to L? this usually makes it dip when reversing.

^^^ what he says! Just the same on my Octavia, gotta be on L for dip on reverse!

Cheers guys, I'll check that out...makes sense.

From the manual:

Switch on the ignition.

– Turn the exterior mirror control to position L.

– Engage reverse gear.

– Move the exterior mirror into the desired position.

– Take the vehicle out of gear. The set position of the exterior mirror is stored.

Yes but even then you need to have an Elegance I believe.

I have set this function many times in my SE yet despite the option being in the MFD menu, it doesn't do anything :'(

i tried to set it but still no joy, weird cause my mirrors are electric AND auto dimming.... does it come with the electric seats i wonder?, where in the maxidot menu did you find the setting?

Yes Simeon is right, unless you have the electric memory seats then the dipping exterior mirror will not work as it needs the memory software that comes with the seat to enable it to work.

According to the specifications, Elegance models, the far side mirror should dip on engaging reverse when properly set. The memory is not dependent on electric seats.

Handbook states memory setting for the dipping mirror depends on seat memory to store settings.
