To activate this function, you need to turn the mirror knob to the right position and then shift into reverse gear. The following are detailed instructions: 1. Activation conditions: Adjust the mirror control knob to the right position and shift into reverse gear. 2. Deactivation conditions: The mirror will automatically return to its original position when the ignition is turned off or when the vehicle speed exceeds 15 km/h in forward motion. Alternatively, you can manually move the mirror control knob away from the right position. Additionally, the tilt-down angle of the Q3's rearview mirror during reversing can be customized. When in reverse gear, manually adjust the right mirror to the desired tilt-down angle, and the vehicle will automatically save this setting. The next time you reverse, the right mirror will automatically adjust to the memorized position.
I remember setting the auto-dipping feature for the Audi Q3's rearview mirror during reverse was quite straightforward. The steps start from the driver's seat: locate the mirror adjuster on the door panel, a knob marked with positions like L, R, and 0. I needed to turn it to the R position to indicate adjusting the right-side mirror. Next, start the car, shift into reverse (R gear), and the mirror would automatically begin to tilt downward. At this point, I manually adjusted the mirror angle to the optimal position using the adjustment buttons—for example, to clearly see the curb or tire position—and once confirmed, the system would memorize the setting. Every time I reversed, the mirror would automatically adjust to this position, making parking easier by avoiding blind spots and potential scrapes, which is both safe and convenient. Audi's design of this feature is quite thoughtful. I recommend trying it out a few times in an open area to find your comfortable angle—it's especially useful for parking in tight spaces and saves a lot of effort in daily driving.
