When I used to drive the Tiguan L, I always utilized this feature. Setting the automatic tilting of the side mirror when reversing is quite straightforward and requires no tools. Here's how to do it: Sit in the driver's seat, locate the mirror adjustment knob on the inner side of the door—it's usually a round switch—and turn it to the 'R' position on the right, which stands for setting the right-side mirror. Then, start the vehicle's engine or simply power it on, and shift into reverse gear. At this point, the side mirror will automatically tilt downward to a default angle. If you want to fine-tune the position to better see the curb next to the wheel, manually adjust it up or down using the adjustment button to the desired point, such as aligning it with the outer edge of the tire, which effectively prevents scratches. After setting, don't shift out of reverse gear immediately; let it stay for a few seconds, and the system will automatically memorize the position. The next time you reverse, it will automatically tilt to this preset point and return to its original position once you shift back to drive after parking. I recommend testing it in an empty parking lot first to ensure the angle covers blind spots—safety comes first. If it occasionally malfunctions, check if the knob is correctly set to 'R' or if there's a wiring issue. Remember, this feature only activates when reversing and is suitable for various parking scenarios.
