How to Set Up the Mercedes-Benz Mirror Tilt Function
2 Answers
To set up the Mercedes-Benz mirror tilt function, you first need to engage the reverse gear. Standard for setting the mirror tilt function: Engage the reverse gear and turn the mirror adjustment button to the right side. The right mirror's automatic adjustment will activate, causing the right mirror to tilt downward during reversing to provide a view of the tires and ground lines, helping you better see the area between the vehicle and the road surface. Steps to set up the mirror tilt function: First, power on the vehicle without starting the engine. Set the memory seat, then select the mirror to be adjusted. Next, press the brake and shift to R (reverse) gear. The selected mirror will automatically tilt to the factory preset position. Use the adjustment button to set it to your desired position. Press and hold the seat memory button for about 2 seconds. Finally, press the brake, shift to P (park) gear, and press the mirror adjustment selection button once more to complete the setup.
To set the Mercedes mirror dipping function, I found it actually quite simple, usually it can be done through the vehicle's central control system. First, start the car and shift to reverse gear, such as shifting to R gear, at this time the right rearview mirror will automatically tilt downward to help you see the roadside parking lines or tire position. Then, press the memory seat button to save this setting, usually the 1, 2, 3 buttons on the door can store different positions. The first time I used it, I thought it was super convenient, no more guessing the distance when parking. However, different models may have slight differences, for example, the new C-Class may need to find the mirror setting option in the touchscreen menu, while the older models may need to hold a certain button for a few seconds. It is recommended to check whether the function is activated before each reverse, safety first, especially when parking in the city to avoid scraping the chassis. Don't forget to check the owner's manual for details, or ask the technician at the 4S store, don't skip this trouble.
