BTW, is there any way to stop the passenger side mirror from panning down everytime I reverse? I don't need it backing out of my driveway and it's just unnecessary strain on the motor going up and down like that 4 times a day. Manual shows a button (next to fold mirrors button) but I don't understand what it means by "switching to the other mirror or to the auto-curb monitor." What is that really saying about the switch and can it be disabled?
Switch the button over to the other side (as the default setting) and it will not pan down. (Page 52! )
