Do the side mirrors not have a setting to tilt down when in Reverse? I got really used to this in my previous vehicle. I don't see an option in Carista, lots of other things I enabled/disabled today though.

I don’t think so. I don’t remember it being on the manual and it’s a feature I wouldn’t think I’d forget. I liked it in my XC60 (which I was also much more concerned about curb-scraping the wheels and tires on).

But honestly, I just have to sit up a bit more and lean over a touch, and I get the exact same view. I don’t even miss it anymore.

Edit: I’m wrong, answer below!

I believe that the mirrors will tilt down if you have the button pressed on the left or right so that it is illuminated like you are adjusting the mirror. Then when the car is placed in reverse, that mirror will tilt downward. Therefore, you can only have the left or right mirror function in that fashion. I hope that makes sense.

Interesting. I’ll give that a try, better than nothing I guess
 
I think this is/was an option you got with the 2024 LCLC premium trim and the FE but not on lesser trims. Not sure about the 2025's. You had to set the normal position for each mirror then put the truck in reverse and adjust the tilted position then put the mirror selector switch to the neutral position. Pretty sure it's laid out in the manual - unless I hallucinated the whole thing.

Miss Daisy’s passenger side mirror tilts down when I put her in reverse.
 
In my LC250 with premium pkg, it is the auto button on the door. Only issue is it seems to control both folding mirrors and the tilt in reverse function. If I turn it off neither works. I wnat folding mirrors but since i have to back up a steep hill into my garage the tilt in reverse isnt something i want.
