Mirrors auto dip on reverse?
Hi guys, just found out my 35is has this feature yet i dont know how to use it.
Presently only the left mirror dips, how do I activate it so both mirrors dip when reversing?
Thanks!

Only the passenger side dips when reverse is engaged, its referred to as the 'automatic curb monitor function'

Not that I'm aware of, moving the switch in the opposite direction just deactivates the dip altogether

I wish the E86 had that feature - my 2000 Seat Leon Cupra did!
Coupes because stunning!

I'm quite glad I can easily disable it. I have to reverse up a lane for 50m before going into my garage and its a pain when the mirror is pointing at the ground!

Thanks guys but already know that it has to be in driver position to work. Not the problem for me.
