I've been driving a car with automatic reverse tilt mirrors for several years, and resetting the mirrors after they automatically tilt down is actually quite simple. When you shift out of reverse gear into drive or park, the mirrors will automatically return to their original position—the system is designed intelligently. If they occasionally don't reset, it might be a settings issue; check the 'Mirror Settings' in the central control menu to ensure 'Auto Reset' is enabled. Alternatively, you can manually adjust them by lightly pushing the mirror adjustment button on the door in the normal direction. Once, on a rainy day, my mirrors didn’t reset because the setting was accidentally turned off, but restarting the car fixed it. Remember to maintain the electrical circuits regularly to prevent aging wires from affecting functionality—safety comes first. Once you have clear visibility while reversing, just focus on driving.
As a daily commuter, when I encounter issues with the rearview mirror not returning to position after tilting down, I usually just shift from reverse to drive gear, and it resets itself—a very thoughtful design. If it doesn't move automatically, don't worry; simply press the mirror control button near the steering wheel gently and adjust it up or down to return it to position. I've noticed many beginners overlook this, so I recommend taking a quick glance after each reverse to ensure it's reset. If the problem persists frequently, it might be due to unstable battery voltage—check your vehicle's power settings. Developing this habit during regular driving can prevent minor issues from disrupting your trip.
