Ok, so everyone here knows that when you put your TL in Reverse, the side mirror slants so that you can see the ground - presumably the curb when you are backing up. What I want to know is - why is this happening (at least on my 05 TL Navi) to just the left side? I was sure that at one point the right side did it once or twice, but now it's just the left side.

I would prefer that the right side did it because when I parallel park on the right side of the street (per normal US Standards), I would like to see the curb so that I don't scuff my wheels up.

Is this a preference ? Is it automatic - having something to do with the direction the wheel is turned?


The manual says nothing about it whatsoever, so naturally, i gotta turn to the expos at Acurazine...Thanks in Advance!!

Change the mirror switch to the right side... bam!

 

Fleshy - you are the man.

thanks!!!

 

I wish both sides would do it when left in the middle position.

no problemo; be prepared for some people to respond.. "USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!"

But, since this thread is already open.. :

- You can roll the windows down & open the sunroof by using your keyfob [unlock, unlock + hold until you have them at the desired level]

- You can roll the windows down & up and open & close the runroof by using your key in the door: Lock -> Lock + Hold to initiate roll up; Unlock -> Unlock + Hold to roll down; again let go when it's at the level you want

 

now if only both side mirrors closed-in when you exitted that car, now that will be sweet

 

Thats exactly what i was thinking, my cousin's 07 escalade does that, its so sweet if you have small or stuffed garage or in tight parking spots.

 

im confused, is it either the left or the right side mirror that tilts down or both when in reverse?

 

^ only one at a time.

 

It's either/or. You'll have to manually select which side by clicking on the mirror button.
