Auto dipping reverse mirrors

Morning all,
Are the reverse dipping mirrors an enable feature or something that should automatically happen.
2014 car, doesn't have memory seats.

Topix states this: AUTO DIPPING MIRROR SYSTEM

but when i select reverse, they stay in the same position, and going through the menu, with engine running and only ignition on, i don't see any place to enable.


cheers

My MY16 Autobiography has the option in the menu:
Main Menu
Vehicle Set-Up
Reverse-dip Mirror - click the Menu/Ok button on the steering wheel to put a tick in the box and job done.





To be honest, I disabled mine as you don’t appear to be able to adjust the amount it dips even though there are instructions posted in this forum, none worked for me.

The worst part is that it dips both mirrors, I only want the passenger mirror to dip and founds this very distracting. MY19 RRS Autobiography Dynamic 3.0 sdv6, Carpathian Grey, black pan roof, black pack, black 22’s, black side steps, ebony/ebony interior

I agree with Ratkat, they are more bother than they are worth. You don't really need them as the mirrors are large enough to see the kerb or any obstructions. Used them a couple of times then reverted to normal.

That is the issue. Need the memory pack so the mirrors know where to return to, (and how far to move)
