Exclamation Reverse parking mirror

When parking in reverse gear, the passenger side mirror turns down automatically. Is it possible to make the mirror turn down more? I cannot figure out how to do it or is it even possible? In Mercedes you can set it up according to your preference.

If your mirrors are adjusted properly to begin with, once you put it in reverse the mirror should then be pointing right at your back wheel, which is where you want it.

- put in neutral or any gear except for reverse gear;
- click the left-right button to the opposite side (dipping when in reverse inactive);
- tilt the right side mirror a bit more downwards with the orientation button (but still comfortable for normal rear viewing: check out more frogs and less birds );
- click the left-right button to its initial position (dipping when in reverse active);
- pronto: right side mirror dips a bit deeper when in reverse gear.
