Hi guys, I gather from my manual that my FL2 ought to have the capacity for auto dip mirrors when in reverse. I believe this a dealer generated option like the door locking when car starts moving? If it is likely I have this option (58 FL2 SE) can I turn it on myself or does it really have to be the dealer? A bad days fishing is still better than a good day at work

As far as I know (from reading the website / manual) the option requires the electric seats with the memory function (standard on the HSE) unless you have that don't think it can be enabled.

On the HSE I think you have to do some fancy procedure to tell the car how low you would like them to go in reverse? But might of just imagined that...

I hope I am wrong though as I would love this on my GS.

On the HSE, firstly you selected reverse gear. Then you manually adjusted the mirrors via the push buttons into the position you require them to be in for use when reversing. Then when you go out of reverse gear the mirrors should then return to there original position you had them in for normal driving.

You do need the electric seats as the mirror positions are stored via the seat memory button.

OK I see, I have the electric seats, but no memory function. Thanks for the help. A bad days fishing is still better than a good day at work

I have no memory function either, but luckily my car seats do!  John

Do your mirrors dip when selecting reverse

Yes they do. I was able to adjust them ok after reading how on the forum here but I don't have a clue on how to cancel the feature...

Maybe I could adjust them as close as I can to their normal position so when reverse will be selected them won't move or barely. But it could be time consuming... 1973 Land Rover Series 3 88''

All you have to do is set them to your chosen postion, put it in the memory, select reverse adjust the mirror to the same position and store it in the memory again.

The folding door mirrors on her Ladyship's FL2 have never frozen solid in winter here in these Swiss alps. Last winter was the worst on record for low temperatures since 1904. Her FL2 sits outside all night and even daytime temps hit minus 37°C. Just shoot some silicone spray onto the moving surfaces before winter starts and again mid winter.

Old post I know - but just thought I'd share my findings on this today whilst playing with my IID BT. Auto dip reverse mirrors functionality is available to all even if you don't have memory seats! You don't even need electric seats! Simply edit your CCF to activate seat memory and hey presto you have auto dip mirrors  2014 SE Loire Blue SD4 Auto (MY15)
