Side mirror

Acura RDX 2018 does the side mirror points to ground when in reverse position?

According to the 2018 owner's manual (which you can view on Acura's website) they do. Copy/paste from Page 13:
● With the power mode in ON, move the selector switch to L or R
● Push the appropriate edge of the adjustment switch to adjust the mirror.
● Place the selector switch in the L or R position to use the reverse tilt door mirror feature.
● Press the folding button to fold in and out the door mirrors.

I'm guessing the folding mirror instruction is for Canadian owners (or maybe they finally made it to the U.S.)
Why do you ask?

Cheers!

Yes, wherever the button is set, L or R, that’s the mirror that points down a bit. There are situations where I wish both tilted down at the same time, but the backup camera helps somewhat.

As to non-folding mirrors on U.S. cars, it was extremely painful to watch the car wash attendant fold the mirrors inwards. Skriiiik!

When backing out of my garage, I've noticed on the passenger side mirror is pointing towards the ground level. When I put on drive, the side mirror does not adjust back to its original position. I may have to observe it more if the button is set on R. In Acura RDX next re-design, they should consider having folding side mirrors in when entering the garage. I actually have to fold in one side mirror to prevent hitting it.

Some versions of the RDX do have power (guessing that's what you mean) folding mirrors. As with some other items (heated rear seats) U.S. versions, sadly, do not.

Cheers!
