Mirror Dip in Reverse

Battles2a5, FYI the dip angle can be adjusted to whatever you prefer, just adjust the mirrors with the controls on the door as you would normally while they are dipped (while the reverse gear is engaged and dipped mirrors are turned on) and then save the new position into memory. It will be remembered every time you back up. I adjusted mine so that only the passenger side mirror dips, the driver's stays put. Just like a Q5. And, at least on my 2013, the nav screen doesn't get involved in the process.

My 2011 Discovery 4 HSE has this feature and it is activated through the settings menu LCD.

What I think is really neat is that if you go fast enough in reverse, the dip discontinues so that you can see further behind you instead of looking at the curb.

 

[alexcorral]

how fast are you going?

Not that fast at all. Probably around 5 to 10 mph. It's really handy for backing down a long driveway.

I think it flips up from dipped to regular position if you reverse at speeds exceeding 7 mph. I remember reading it in the Ownere's Manual.

Correct.
