How to Enable/Disable the Automatic Tilt-Down Function for X3 Side Mirrors?
2 Answers
To activate this function, ensure the engine is running and the mirror adjustment switch is set to the "Left" position. A properly configured seat memory function (including mirror angles) is required. Recall the seat memory to restore the right mirror to its memorized position, then toggle the mirror adjustment switch to the "Right" position.
When I first drove the X3, I also found this feature quite amazing, and setting it up wasn’t as complicated as I imagined. First, start the car and shift into reverse gear, then locate the right-side mirror adjustment button and manually tilt it downward to your desired position—for example, to see the rear tire and avoid scraping the curb. Once adjusted, press and hold the memory button on the driver’s door for a few seconds until you hear a beep to save the position. Every time you reverse, the mirror will automatically tilt down to that memorized angle, which is very convenient. If you don’t want to use it, simply turn off the auto-tilt option on the car’s display screen. This design is super user-friendly, especially in tight parking spaces where it helps avoid obstacles. Remember to ensure the car is stationary before operating—safety first and it saves time too.
