Has anyone else had this issue? When putting the car in reverse the mirrors won't tilt downward anymore. I made sure to have the mirrors set to auto and it know its working because they retract when I lock the car.

I do. I tested it a few times. I was hoping it was another button I was overlooking but it seems like I might have to have the dealer take a look at it.

There are two different switches one is for tilt down, one is for folding on lock.

You have to press the "L" button to make it tilt when you're in reverse happens to me as well.

my nissan requires the selector to be in the middle. honestly haven't even checked mine to see what triggers it.
 
On my Sorento it works if it's on L or R..as long as one of the mirrors is selected.
 
Is this only for certain trim models? Does it work on the GT?

I tried all three positions on my GT and no tilt. I am beginning to think it is not on GT models. The manual says, "If equipped." I haven't looked to see what models have the feature.

Does the GT have mirrors that fold in when you park and lock the doors? If not I would assume it’s not included.
 
Mine works perfectly fine. When set to "L" when reversing, the side mirrors tilt down which is great for parallel parking. When set to a flat position, they are normal height, whatever you set it to.

Yeah. I’m curious if the GT is equipped. I don’t recall seeing that in the stickered options when I bought mine.

Easy to test. Run outside, pop the car in reverse, flip the switch to the left and right. (I'm 90% sure either L or R will work).
 
I've never knew our cars do that when going in reverse mine stay that same never move going to run out now to try it lol
 
I do have the folding mirrors and the switch for them is just "above" the L/R/C switch for the side mirror adjustment. I am fairly confident at this point that even with the folding mirrors on my base GT, the reverse tilt is not installed. I would love to be wrong. If all people commenting here would state if they are GT, GT1, or GT2 either in their post or in their signature it would be very helpful in determining whether it is an option or a malfunction.
 
I have a gt2 and I just tried it. Has to be on L or R in order for it to work.
