Tilting Mirror In Reverse Timing Out?

Hello everyone. First post here. No stranger to trucks, GM trucks or anything with a motor, wheels or a barrel. Just a stranger to my 3 week old '15 Denali. Every other GM truck I've had that has the ability to tilt the mirrors in reverse has worked perfectly. However, this new truck tilts the pasenger mirror back up to the normal position while I'm still in reverse. Only stays tilted for about 30-45 seconds. That can't be right, can it? Thanks in advance and I look forward to any input and being an attribute to the forum in the future.

 

P.S. Dangerdick won't be the only one with a Magneride 7" lifted '15 Denali here in about 2 days :pimp: . Installing the FTS kit and wheels/tires Friday.

Ok, glad its not only me that has had this happen.

 

I was backing into a specific space very cautiously, and midway through the reversing process, the mirrors automatically tilted back up while I was looking at the drivers mirror. As a software engineer myself, I attribute it to a GM software engineer never actually driving the truck he wrote the software for and not actually thinking through the scenarios.

 

If the software leaves the backup camera on the whole time the truck is in reverse, the mirrors should act the same damn way. It's called user experience consistency, GM! </rant>

Apparently that's the way they want it to work now.

 

"Reverse Tilt Mirrors

If equipped with memory seats, the passenger and/or driver mirror tilts to a preselected position when the vehicle is in R (Reverse). This allows the curb to be seen when parallel parking.
The mirror(s) return to the original position when:
. The vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse), or remains in R (Reverse) for about 30 seconds.
. The ignition is turned off.
. The vehicle is driven in R (Reverse) above a set speed.
To turn this feature on or off, see
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-46."

Not sure if the 2015 is exactly like the 2014, but on my 2014, they do time out after 20 or 30 seconds. There was a member who complained of this when backing his boat down a ramp at the lake. I tried it in my driveway...put it in reverse...camera on and mirrors tip down. After 20 or 30 seconds, mirrors tile back up on their own. I read somewhere that this is normal.

Well, I guess that answers that. That's really stupid. I wonder if they'll come out with a TSB/software update for these to change that.

It probably will never be fixed/changed. They will bring out a new model in 2018 and it will have tilt mirrors that stay tilted, but then the reverse camera will time out after 30 seconds. Or something equally stupid. They always break something when they add new features. And to clear it up, I'm not saying the tilt mirrors are new, just that being a new style, their software engineers created more bugs than they could handle and they are now called "features".

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps.

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
