Default Parallel Parking Mirror Feature

Ok, so I was parking the AR and ive always lowered the passenger side mirror myself in order to see the curb that way I dont scratch the wheels. So, I began to lower the mirror, put it in reverse and I was happy to see the mirror automatically lower itself. Now, Ive tried to get it to do it again but I am not able to. Whats the deal? What is the procedure for getting the mirror to automatically drop down when parking?

Default turn mirror **** to right/passenger side adjustment setting and leave it there

it will automatically lower the mirror to view curb when reverse is engaged. If you return the mirror **** to the center setting "lock no adjustment" it does not automatically adjust

Awesome! Theyre getting me my owners manual so I am stumbling through the many things that this car does. Im not really sure why I didnt think about doing that myself.

Default another cool feature is matching remote to memory seat and mirrors

good if you have more than 1 driver, it will mover the seat an mirrors to the memory position that is matched to the specific remote that unlocks the car... My wife loves this as we both drive her car a lot. so she doesnt have to readjust seat after each time i have driven it.

Default just for the heck of it, did you check under the steering wheel for the secret hiding spot?

The owner's manual should be there.

Mine has the power folding mirrors. I have everything on this car except for the Bose system. It has the Blaupunkt audio. How do I change the memory in the seats? I can tell that a woman originally owned this as I hit any of the buttons and am smashed into the steering wheel and up into the headliner.
