2009 IS 250c I wing mirrors don’t tilt in reverse

[Brianwh]

Wing mirrors don’t tilt when put in reverse, also when I lock the car the wing mirrors don’t return in I have to use the button inside on the door.

According to my Handbook regarding 'mirror tilt when in reverse' on p44 it states "the function will not operate when the mirror select switch is in the neutral position (ie. between L and R)" ... and my model doesn't seem to have an 'auto-fold' function either.

My previous car had the auto-fold mirrors, but current one doesn't.

The function can be toggled on/off via the satellite switch on the lower dashboard.

Interestingly, going back to this tilting-when-in-reverse business, I've just noticed on mine that the offside mirror tilts but the nearside doesn't?!?

Another puzzle to be solved ... 🤔

I had problems with my mirrors not moving for reversing (or, more specifically, not moving enough) on one mirror and then the other.

This excellent guide is probably a good place to start:

In my case, luckily I had an extended warranty, so a pair of new wing mirrors solved the problem.

Excellent visual tutorial Shahpor, thanks for the research 👍.

Some DIY to look forward to when the weather improves ... probably next Spring! 😀
