#1 of 5 Only one side mirror goes down when in reverse? by terpmjn Apr 02, 2009 (4:43 pm)
I just bought a 2009 Pilot Touring w/RES this week and noticed a quirky thing about both the model we bought and also the 3 other cars of the exact same makeup that we test drove.   When the car is placed in reverse the side mirrors tilt downwards for convenience. For some reason, only ONE mirror tilts each time. Sometimes the left, sometimes the right, but always only one. Does anyone know why this is, all other cars with this option tilt both mirrors. Also, does anyone know how the car chooses which mirror it lowers, the right or the left?   I can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere on the internet and I'm dying to know!   Warm Regards, Michael Replies to this message: bobot (Apr 03, 2009 7:36 pm) terpmjn (Apr 04, 2009 10:26 am) jwalls (Apr 11, 2009 11:55 am) bigdadi118 (Apr 12, 2009 9:56 am)

Replying to: terpmjn (Apr 02, 2009 4:43 pm) The mirror that tilts down in reverse is dependent upon the location of the mirror adjustment switch on the driver's door. If the switch is pushed to the driver's side mirror, the driver's mirror tilts down when you put the shifter in reverse. If the switch is pushed to the passenger side mirror, the passenger mirror tilts. If the switch is in the middle, the mirrors do not tilt.
