Default adjusting side mirror dip in reverse

how do you adjust the preset angle the passenger side mirror dips when in reverse? the manual doesn't say and i seem to remember being able to adjust it, but then again i maybe confusing the allroad with my wife's e430

Default you can stop it from dipping by moving the mirror control ****

back to the center position, but I don't remember a way to adjust how far it moves.

Default it dips too much

right now the side mirror dips too much, I can't see squat, so i end up defeating it. i swear i remember being able to set the preset dip angle, but then again, my memory isn't a lucid as it once was.

Default let me know when you find out!!

I too disable it because it's too deep - very annoying when a product is over-engineered.

Default use the third memory setting ...

I set both mirrors just right and stored in Memory 3, leaving the seats, etc., and use it just for backing out of my driveway and parking.

Now, if you have 3 drivers, that's another story

Default I think you do it with the keys in the start position (car not running)

then you turn the mirror *** to the passenger mirror setting, then adjust. Then turn the *** to the "neutral" setting and turn the power off. It should be set....oh yes, do all this with the car in reverse.

Re: Could not find a way either. Funny the Passat has this feature.

Default did you do it with the car in reverse?

I thought that was the way to adjust it. It is adjustable, if this method doesn't work, we will find out for you.
