Default Right side mirror tilt down on reverse?

One time that i put my 00 2.7T On reverse i noticed the mirror tilted down automatically this only happened once and hasnt done it again.. is there a switch or something to enable and disable this feature ? it's pretty nice! when you are parking it helps to watch the curb heheh

Default Re: Just turn your mirror adjuster **** to the right mirror prior to putting it in reverse

and it will automatically adjust. It will also do it if you turn the **** as you are backing up

Default The mirror adjustment switch...

In the center console controls which mirror dips. If it is in the center position neither mirror will dip when you go into reverse.

Default after years of dealing with bmw, where the automatic models that i never bought had this feature and

the cars fitted with the manual transmissions didn't (even the e32 735i)... it took me a few months with the 6 speed A6 before i realized that audi was smart enough to wire the mirror pivot to the manual cars as well as the automatics... the first time it tilted down i was actually surprised.

More info can be found in the car's manual, if you have one.
