Turn on the car's power without starting the engine. Set the memory seats to positions 1, 2, or 3, and select the desired seat position. Choose the rearview mirror you want to adjust and press the rearview mirror adjustment selection button. Press the brake, shift into R gear, and the selected rearview mirror will automatically tilt down to the factory preset position. Adjust it to the desired position. Press and hold the seat memory button for about 2 seconds, then select and hold the memory position. Press the brake, shift into P gear, and press the rearview mirror adjustment selection button once more to complete the setup.
I just bought a 2021 Bora and found the auto-dipping rearview mirror during reversing particularly convenient. The steps are simple: first start the vehicle, then find the vehicle settings option either via the knob on the left side of the steering wheel or the menu on the central control screen, select the mirror adjustment section, and enable the auto-dipping function when reversing. During parking, this feature helps you see the wheels and blind spots behind, avoiding wheel scrapes against curbs. I’ve tried it many times myself—in tight parking spaces in my neighborhood, the mirror automatically dips to provide a better view, making reversing more precise. Remember to test it after setup; the mirror will slightly adjust when reversing and automatically return to its original position when shifting to drive. If there’s an issue, check whether the settings were saved or try restarting the system. Overall, this feature in the Bora is thoughtfully designed, making daily driving much more hassle-free.
As an ordinary driver with several years of experience, I believe setting the mirror tilt-down function when reversing is a crucial step to enhance safety. On the 2021 Bora, after turning on the ignition, press the central control screen to enter the vehicle settings menu, select the mirror option, and simply turn on the tilt-down switch when reversing. In practical use, this expands the rearview visibility and helps prevent collisions with low-lying objects like children or pets behind the vehicle. I often drive in urban areas, where this feature proves particularly useful in narrow alleys. Additionally, ensure the vehicle is in P gear when activating this setting, then test the tilt-down function by reversing. If there's no response, the system might not be activated. Regularly checking this function to avoid malfunctions and maintaining good visibility contributes to safer driving.
The rearview mirror tilt-down feature on my 2021 Bora is very practical when reversing. The setup is simple: start the car, access the settings from the touchscreen, find the mirror section, and enable the tilt-down function for reversing. This helps you see ground obstacles clearly. I recommend testing it after setup to ensure proper operation.
