Default Rear View Mirror Drop Option

Hey everyone,

I got new rims (Breyton GTS-AV - will post pics soon), after I had the placed, suddenly my passenger rear view camera that used to dip when I went into reverse, no longer dips.

What gives? I went through the owners manual and couldnt find out how to turn it back on.

Sorry for the simple question.

Thanks.

Passenger rear view camera? Now that's new ... gotta get one of those ... I got a single rear camera on my trunk but not on each side

If you meant passenger rear view mirror, where is the switch on the driver door selector set to when it's not working? AFAIK if it's set to the passenger side (switched toward the right/bottom end) it'll not dip (kinda in lock mode).

Passenger side Mirror tilt feature
Active=Mirror switch; set to Drivers Side position.
Not Active=Mirror switch; set to Passengers Side position.

Counter intuitive but thats the way it works.

Probably someone test drove the car and moved the switch to adjust the mirrors or accidentally moved the switch.
