Does the Inspire have the reverse mirror tilt function?
2 Answers
The Inspire is equipped with a reverse mirror tilt function. When the car is shifted into R gear, the right-side mirror can automatically adjust its angle according to usage needs. The automatic mirror adjustment during reversing enhances visibility, and the mirror automatically resets when driving forward. Side mirrors are typically located on both sides of the car's front and inside the vehicle. The Inspire is positioned as the flagship sedan under Dongfeng Honda, with dimensions of 4910mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1450mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2830mm. The car is powered by a 1.5T turbocharged engine paired with a CVT transmission.
The top-trim Honda Inspire I've been driving recently does have the auto-dipping side mirror feature when reversing. It automatically adjusts the right mirror angle downward to help you better see curbs or obstacles. This is super useful in tight parking spaces - scraping your tires would be such a bummer. The manual says you need to enable this option in settings, usually found in the reversing assist menu on the infotainment screen. If yours doesn't have it, maybe your model is a base trim or not the high-end version. My neighbor's older Inspire lacks this feature, but manually adjusting the mirror downward works as a makeshift solution. Overall, this feature significantly improves parking safety, especially during nighttime reversing when visibility is limited.
