I purchased an '04 Silverado V8 with 50K miles for my wife and then got an '06 White V8 for myself. In the owner's manual there is an oblique reference to the side mirrors angling down while in reverse to aid parking. My wife's car seems to do this whereas mine does not. I assume I need to set up this feature somehow but I can't for the life of me find it in the manual.
View 11 RepliesDo both mirrors go down evenly when car is put in reverse! My passenger side goes down further then driver side.
View 4 RepliesDo the passenger side mirrors on the LX570 dip when n reverse? I have a 2013 model year LX and I can't figure out a way to make them do that automatically when I throw it in reverse. I like the multi-camera feature, but I do like using my mirrors when parking and want it to automatically dip the mirror.
View 3 RepliesFor some strange reason, my side-view mirror (passenger) stopped angling down when in reverse . . .
View 10 RepliesSomething seems to have changed with the '13 ES 350 I bought in October. The side mirrors have stopped pointing down when the car is in reverse.
I don't believe that I've changed and settings but furious finger poking might have taken place as some point in the recent past. What has changed?
Yesterday a friend drove my 2013 ES350 and adjusted all the mirrors and seat to his preference. When I got back in to drive, I pushed the buttons to return to my settings. But now when in reverse, the side mirrors do not tilt downward, they revert to his settings. How do I undo this?
View 10 RepliesWhen I shift to reverse, the side mirrors angle downwards automatically. The driver's side one squeaks when it does this. Any tip to remove the squeak.
I recently upgraded my puddle lamps to blue LEDs to match my interior lights and took the opportunity to spray a little bit of WD40 on the mechanism. I didn't use much, since the mirrors are basically friction fit I didn't think it wise to spray all over, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
The mirror still seems to move freely enough and nothing obvious is rubbing.
I have a 07 GS 350 and my side mirrors don't point down all the way in reverse than when I put it in drive the mirrors don't adjust to my preset.
View 4 RepliesWhen shifting from reverse to park or drive, the mirror tilts back up but not in the position it was prior. It is actually quite irritating because I would start driving and have to adjust the mirrors back to the desired setting. I've also just sat there and shifted from park -> reverse -> park and recalled the memory setting and I will see it make the adjustments.
View 8 RepliesI believe it is a great feature to automatically adjust the side view mirrors downward when the car is put into reverse. One question, Does the passenger side mirror the only mirror which adjusts downward? My drivers side mirror does not move at all.
View 4 RepliesWhat I'm normally accustomed to is that whatever side your mirror adjustment is set to will tilt down when you put the car in reverse. The other side normally stays as is. I believe my mom's LX570 might actually tilt both down.
I picked up my GS350 F-Sport today and I can't figure out the side mirrors. The salesperson told me that it doesn't tilt any more because the car has a rear view camera - but that doesn't make much sense as the purpose of the tilting is not to see what's behind you, but to watch the curb.
Right now, when I put the car in reverse, the LEFT mirror tilts (but it actually seems to turn away and go down). This happens regardless of which side the adjustment is set to. Normally, you'd want the right side to tilt as that's the side you parallel park on.
I couldn't find anything in the configuration settings at all.
When i first got my rx350 the auto angling side mirrors always worked, When i put the car in reverse it would automatically go down, so i could see where the curb was. Now after a couple of months it stopped working, every time i went reverse the mirrors won't angle down. What's the problem?
View 4 RepliesMy dealer said the windows on my 250 F sport executive pkg (Canada) should tilt down when the car is in reverse. They said the control must be either on the Lh or Rh position for it to work. I have tried both positions and it doesn't tilt when in reverse? The windows are currently locked out from the switch on the drivers door due to the tint being fresh (they said to wait a few days before rolling down the windows).
View 14 RepliesWhen I put my car into reverse both my mirrors tilt down. Doesnt matter which side mirror adjustment button I press (Left or Right) both mirrors tilt down. Then when I press the (L or R light up button) both mirrors tilt up. So I can either tilt both mirrors or tilt no mirrors. Is this normal behavior of the car or am I missing something here.
Most my other cars I had the selection of which mirror I need to get tilted. But in this car I don't have that option.
I have a 2008 3.0 tdi ...
1) how do you get the mirrors to fold in automatically when the car switches off, like most other vehicles? I can do it manually each time using the knob but I am sure there's another way?
2) I have the keyless entry option. I figured out how to lock the car using the little square button on the handle so I don't need to take the key out of my pocket, but how do you open all four doors without taking the key out of your pocket?
Whenever I start the car at the moment, the rear view and wing mirrors are both in the dimmed position and I have to press the button under the rear view mirror to clear them to normal operation. Why this is happening? I can't find anything in the FAQ which covers it.
View 2 RepliesI went to the dealer yesterday to disable the steering wheel extending/returning and the side mirrors turning down when in reverse.
The dealer was not able to disable the mirror turning down in reverse. Mine is 2014. I read it somewhere that this is dealer service only.
Whenever I put my 05 RX 330 into reverse the door mirrors do not angle down. I just bought this vehicle 3 weeks ago and when I first got it they worked fine. Did my wife or myself accidentally turn this feature off? Is there a way to check them?
View 4 RepliesTrying to isolate a troubling noise from the back. The ONLY place the car makes this sound is angling out of my driveway, which I always do to avoid scraping. This twists the car along its length, because the last bit of the driveway slopes down into the street beyond, and the street goes uphill to the right. So it's down one angle while heading up another. It's a loud heavy snap/clunk, like something unloading tension. I think.
Have a UNIbrace in place, took it out for a while, no change. Next to investigate is RSB doing something. I'm thinking I should just undo the end links so the bar is not in play... then if that sound is still there I know that's not what's causing it.
But... do I want the weight of the car off the wheels to undo the end links (top bolt that doesn't go through the shocks, of course). Or does it not matter? I don't wanna release tension abruptly (speaking of which) by undoing incorrectly and have something go boing and smack me in the face. OR, I guess the proper way to ask is "What's the correct way to take load OFF the RSB so I can undo the end links?"
I just had a problem come up a few weeks ago where the check lights indicator comes on. We've narrowed down the problem to the white reverse lights not coming on when the car is in reverse.
I had my Phaeton mechanic look at it and he could not find the problem although apparently there is a resistance difference between the brake lights and reverse lights leading him to believe it may be the bulb holders (they are corroded).
The reverse lights connect to many modules so it could be anything.
Bought some power tow mirrows, aftermarket, any special on installing?
