all you need to do is switch the mirror adjustment from left to right and it won't tilt any more

I had to look up RTFM on acronym finder.

Bwaaahahahaaa!!! Your car can tell you your average miles per gallon? Did they remove that on the 08 LCI models?

Also, now that you know what RTFM stands for, can you tell the other forum members what it means ( not me of course ( ok maybe a lil)) because I think inquiring minds want to know.

By the way, does anyone actually use the down-tilted mirror in reverse? I have mine set to not "look down" when I reverse, because I haven't found any advantage to it. Am I missing something?

in all seriousness, i hate the tilt down feature, my mirror never goes back to the right place. then i find myself doing 70 on the parkway going to change lanes, realizing i cant see shit.
