I thought maybe I bumped a switch that made it start doing that, it was odd that I have gone this long and never have noticed it.

if you dont think you have it, you have to have your mirror control switch in the center position

i dont think so. i think that came about in the 02 model. the way to find out is to move the mirror switch to the center position and put it into reverse. the mirror should tilt down.

I see it now. I had my control to the middle position, thats probably why I have never noticed it happening before. Kind of scared me, thinking I usually use that mirror when I am backing up.

I'll agree that it's often more fun to figure things out for yourself, but there may be functions your car can perform that you might never figure out. This especially true for some of the newer cars with all the fun gadgets.
