Just got rid of my 57 plate TDV8 and replaced it with a 10 plate TDV8
On the old car both mirros used to move when reverse was selected but on my new one only the passenger moves,is this correct or is a trip back to Farnells Leeds? I wasn't sure if seen as they have a camera now that only one mirror should move? 10 TDV8 Santorini

Quote:

Mirror dip when reversing
The door mirrors can be set to dip
automatically when reverse gear is selected to
provide an improved viewing angle for
reversing.
When enabled in Vehicle Set-up, select reverse
gear to dip the mirrors. While the mirrors are in
the dipped position they can be adjusted to
your required position using the mirror
adjuster in the normal way.
The next time reverse gear is selected the
mirrors will return to the positions you have
selected.
When the gear selector is moved out of
reverse, or the vehicle speed exceeds 12 km/h
(7.5mph) in reverse, the mirrors will return to
their normal driving positions.
This feature can be enabled or disabled via the
Vehicle Set-up menu. See VEHICLE
INFORMATION AND SETTINGS MENU
(page 37).

I was so looking forward to this idea, however i turned it off after a week on mine, as you cant see far enough, the rear view mirror doesnt offer you a big enough viewing area, so i disabled it, useless idea as far as im concerned 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))

You just need to adjust them to suit your driving position  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

@ shakeapaw - did you mean rear view mirror (as in the one mounted on the windscreen) or door mirrors ?
The reversing 'dip' is only for the door mirrors. I find it useful when parking up against kerbs etc.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

I cant live without it, I think it's great, what I do think is a bit of a white elephant is the reversing camera!!! I'd rather look in my mirrors anyday  10 TDV8 Santorini

I did mean the door mirrors, the rear view mirror on its own doesnt give you a big enough viewing angle, and if you use the dipped door mirrors, you can only see the kerb. I back out of a narrow street when visiting my mother, and i could hardly see anything, i put the mirrors back to normal, and i was fine, and as for parking near a kerb, i park on them  07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater )))
