Default Door Mirror at reverse gear

I have an Allroad2001, and have been quite
satisfied with it+GIAC.
One of the feature, I like, is mirror inclination@of passengers side door mirror, when gear is positioned at reverse direction.
,But yesterday I noticed it doesn't move that way any more. I checked with manual, but can't find any SW to enable, or disable the feature.
Is it just a trouble, or have I overlooked the SW?

Thanx for advise,
and hope all of Audee have a wonderful year!

Make sure the mirror adjustor **** is postitioned to the right side mirror adjustor spot. Leave it there and hit reverse - it should work. If the **** is in the middle position, the reverse mirror will not operate. That is how it works on my '02.

You can also rotate the switch to the left to drop the drivers mirror.

Yes, my '03 does this. Saw a friend w/an '01 A6 do it and thought it was the coolest thing.

Default I had a problem where someone ran into my RH mirror, knocking it loose...

It wobbled back-and-forth. After repositioning it approximately where it should be and turning the mirror switch off and back on again with the ignition switch ON, it resumed proper function (fortunately).

My '02 does not do this...I feel the first icy touch of creeping obsolescence.
