Shut Off the Auto-Mirror Adjust Feature in Reverse

Does anybody know how to shut off the automatic feature that adjusts the driver side mirror down when you put the car in reverse? I have a 6MT so is this just a feature for 6MT..
When I first got my car like 2 weeks ago now, I noticed this feature, and I am really worried about this freezing in the winter and I would like to be able to shut it off.

Thanks

Put the L/R mirror adjustment switch in the center.

There is a switch on the left side of the dash that says mirrors L or R. Just move the switch to the middle. Didn't yours come with a manual?

Hi
I would also like to completely turn off the automatic feature that adjusts L&R mirrors.
When I move the L/R mirror adjustment switch in the center, mirrors will stop moving, but every once in a while the left mirror will start making noises and move down on its own. I am guessing the motor inside is going bad?
Is there a way to turn this automatic feature off with an OBD2 scanner or by unplugging the correct fuse?
Or should I just replace the motor inside the left mirror?

Thanks

You should replace. If the switch is in the center but the mirror still moves until it's clicking it's a sign it's going bad.

Check to see if the mirror is centered up & down . If its been knocked off of center it can be at the end of its travel and trying to return to the driver preset position.
