Post '02 passenger mirror reverse tilt?

Is this a feature in the '02 or not? The car I test drove didn't seem to have the feature. Can someone confirm seeing either an '02 P or S doing this?

As stated, it does.... This is one option I would really have liked, something minor that should have been included on the 2001 update IMHO.

What is this reverse tilt feature you all talking about? Side mirrors tilt downward when car is in reverse?

BTW, I spotted my first 2002 TL at the office parking lot today. Didn't think it look all that different, except for the better-looking rims.

My father has a CL-S, which has this feature as well, and at first he couldn't get it to work. Then he figured out that the switch which controls which mirror you want to adjust must be in the middle position. In other words it can't be in the left or right position.

That's probably why it didn't work for me. I'll be sure to check the switch next time I go for a ride. Thanks.

Can't. Someone posted a big long explanation a while ago.

I think its part of the mem seat/mirror system. You could probably put the '02 mirrors on but they wouldn't have the reverse tilt feature.

I got my 02 TL last night and, when backing up this morning, noticed this feature. This car's amazing, absolutely amazing. Best dollar for dollar buy on the market.

I believe in Canada, only the Type S has the tilt mirror. The non S version doesn't come with it.

It was definitely a 2002TL. Clear lights, bigger grill, and different rims. And it didn't have plates on yet. Don't get me wrong, I spotted the differences right away, but they were not so substantial that I would run out to trade in my 2001. DA
