Welcome.

Mirror adjust switch needs to be pointed at the left mirror when you select reverse?

 

Thanks for your reply. I have it pointing to the left mirror. I have it turned on in the infotainment setting aswell...

 

I understood that Ateca does not have the memory module for such function to properly work. It can be activated by coding, but mirror position will never come back to its original starting position.

 

My '23 Cupra dips the left mirror on reversing and returns to the original position when moving forward.

 

My 2020 plate experience lux does the same too always goes to the correct position either in reverse or when returning

 

Which one is the memory module for mirror reverse positioning function?

 

My Ateca previously displayed the 'Lower mirror when reversing' function on the dash display, but it was 'unavailable'. The same function has since disappeared and is no longer shown on the 'Mirrors and Wipers' setting.
Why might this be and how can I get it back?

 

Does the left mirror tilt downwards when you select reverse gear?

 

No, there's no movement from either mirror

 

I've tried resetting the one touch open/close on all windows, as I thought this might be connected. But still no mirror tilt when reversing function showing in Settings.

 

Only the left mirror tilts downwards in reverse gear.

Final question is the electric mirror switch pointed at the left mirror?

 

It was.
However, the function 'lower mirror when reversing' option no longer appears in the settings display.
So can't select it.
I need to manually close the mirrors to park the car in a garage. Could this action cause the 'mirror tilt when reversing' function to disappear from the settings?

 

Seems a bit random on VW Group cars whether this is fitted or not - our Ateca doesn't do it, and neither does wife's 2022 Karoq SEL. Yet her old mk1 Tiguan Match did it.

 

There were a number of issues with it when it was first introduced. It tended not to return the mirror correctly. It was discontinued on some models. I personally can't see the point of it when a reversing camera is fitted to most models.

 

My '23 Cupra VZ2 does it, they got almost all of the Seat options ticked as standard. I'm guessing a 2019 Ateca didn't get the 'all glass' head unit that the later cars received. Probably worth trying a full reset/reboot of the head unit. On mine it's just a case of holding the power button down for 20 seconds.
