Hi, Just picked up my New Octavia hatch SEL First Edition at the weekend and very nice it is too.

 

I had to wait and extra day as it needed a recall; apparently 7 software updates!

 

My son (21) and I spent a lot of Saturday afternoon going through menu set up etc

 

We have 2 issues:

 

1: (Documented on other threads). We are unable to change the measurements menu to MPH from KMH

 

2: Despite following the handbook we are unable to make the dipping mirrors in reverse function work. We have set the memory seat. We have then put the mirror switch to R, selected reverse. Manually dipped the mirrors. Taken out of reverse and the mirrors remain dipped. We have tried this with the reverse mirror switch in the menu in various configurations and nothing works.  Has anyone managed to set this feature up correctly and if so how did you do it please?

the mph/km is an ongoing issue with a lot of people, the dipped mirror it needs to be put to L as the handbook is for lefthand drive not sure why so only the left mirror dips, hope this helps

Have you tried putting the mirror switch to L?

 

I'm wondering if the instructions have been written for a LHD car?

Thanks gents. Looks like the put the switch to L rather than R may have cracked it? It is certainly now dipping the left mirror when putting into reverse although didn't seem to want to go back to normal when taken out of gear. Car is in company car parking space at moment and could only pop out for 2 minutes, so a more thorough test is required!

if you put the knob back to middle or right it will put it back or when u start driving off also auto puts it back, think its when u hit 10 MPH

It will turn back up when you are going forward with enough speed. 

Thanks. All working correctly now
