Merc Owner 2B said:I believe you have to have the memory seats option for that to be able to work
For the benefit of the hard of understanding, as others have already said this only works if you have the memory pack, which for the current range of cars means you have memory seats.With the engine running select reverse then the passenger side mirror. Adjust the mirror down towards the rear wheel when adjusted just select drive and about 10 sec later the mirror should readjust to its normal position.
Now everytime you select reverse the mirror should move to view the rear wheel.

No memory seats = no ability to have the passenger mirror tilt down when reverse is selected.
Yep, the W205 is the exceptionJonobigblind said:Care to explain how my W205's mirror tilts when in reverse even though I don't have memory seats?
Ahh, the joys of a cheap cable and a copy of VCDS. The big drawback to switching from Audi to Merc is no equivalent community with Star and zero information about how to get into the works.Nuts. I have electric but not memory seats. I know you could code out on witha VAG unit just as long as you had electric mirrors, but I never got it done in the end.

I refuse to believe that you have to have memory seats to get what you want unless it is a major difference in the appropriate control module. Unfortunately, there's no-one with enough knowledge to give an accurate answer, just to parrot the official line. .
my mate's Audi had this feature, I thought it very handy, I did not think mine had it till I tried amiller81's suggestion. And sure enough it works, I have memory seats btw. Had the car nearly 3 yrs. now, still learning.With the engine running select reverse then the passenger side mirror.

As this post is now 5 years old, it’s worth noting that later models (the W205 was, I believe, the first but it now includes others such as the W177 A-Class) now have passenger mirror tilting when reverse is selected even without the memory pack.No memory seats = no ability to have the passenger mirror tilt down when reverse is selected
