Reverse Tilt Mirrors

[Chadwilliam1]

There is three. The third one is the exit position. I have had mine set this way for a while.

 

You might not want to have the exit setting on through the touch screen. That way when you are about to back up you can hit the exit position and it will just adjust your mirrors.

The same for me I adjusted in reverse and it saved the new position

Did you shift into reverse, adjust the tilt, save the memory, and then shift back to drive/park?

 

Or shift into reverse, adjust the tilt, shift back to drive then save?

 

I've tried this a couple different ways. Just wondering. I want my passenger side to go lower, but when I go back to drive, it never fully returns unless I click the memory button.

OM says "If equipped with memory seats, the passenger and/or driver mirror tilts to a preselected position when the vehicle is in R (Reverse)"

I've been interpreting this to mean that the 'preset' position is non-adjustable and that only the location for 'forward gears' was adjustable.

Guess I'll have to try it.

My 2012 has an adjustment for this in the DIC. Turn it off or adjust the right or left mirror and keep it in memory. So the newer trucks have eliminated this feature?

[redwngr]

Reverse downturn still exists, and there is a setting to determine if it used in one mirror both mirrors or no mirrors. What I am (or was) interpreting is that the 'down' position (or maybe the amount that it moves) is factory set and can only be selected to be on or off.

 

I've currently got it set to both, and the trailer mirrors definitely turn down when in reverse. (and as others have pointed out if you leave it in reverse long enough they will eventually turn back up -- which is useful if backing up for a long distance as opposed to checking for parking spot lines or how far away from an object near a rear wheel.

 

The memory feature for the driving position also works - but again, I've been thinking that only the 'driving' positions can be adjusted and saved to memory.

 

If my interpretation is correct, it would explain the problems trying to save a different 'down' position.

[SierraMyst]

Activating the down tilting does still exist in the vehicle setting. You can choose the right, left, both, or none.

 

How much the mirror tilts down, is not programmable. It tilts a specific amount of degrees down based on where your regular mirrors are set too.

 

I've tried adjusting them more down and when I go back to drive, my regular mirrors will be tilted down more than normal. I have to press my memory button to return it to normal.

 

I've tried adjusting them down more while in reverse and updating/saving my memory 1 preset. This does two things. It either keeps the downward tilt saved as my memory recall or it will tilt up to the lower spot again. And and that lower spot will be my new memory recall.

 

So no...you can't program my the amount of downward tilt. You just have to find a the perfect spot on your regular setting that will tilt the mirror the predetermined amount to where you'd like it.

 

I also haven't figured out how my key is linked to memory 1 and my wifes key is link to memory 2. Every time I get in the truck after she's driven it, and unlock the truck with my key, it doesn't return the seat and mirrors back automatically. I have to get in the truck and press and hold the memory 1 button to get everything back to my settings.

 

I can really say this sucks...my coming from an Infiniti and Honda Odyssey which had this features, kind of disappointed at how much basic luxury features this truck lacks.

 

I really went with GMC over Chevy for the more luxury aspect. I'm just glad I didn't go Denali luxury.

Try swapping fobs with your wife. You've got fob 2 (there not marked, but try it -- or save you settings to position2)

 

RKE Transmitters are not labeled

with a number. If your memory seat

position is stored to 1 or 2 but this

position is not automatically

recalling, then store your positions

to the other button or switch RKE

transmitters with the other driver.

So you're saying that if my mirror and seats have been adjusted from the preset position, and I unlock my truck with the correct key that is linked to memory setting 1, my truck should automatically return to the preset position.

 

This is a feature correct?

 

I just moved my seat and mirrors, and unlocked the truck with both keys just to verify that I'm holding the correct one, and neither one reverted the seat and mirrors back. I have to press and hold the memory button until the seat go back.

 

Is there something wrong with my truck or something I didn't activate?

I believe it is in Vehicle Personalization Menus as Auto Memory Recall which needs to be on for this to work properly.

Yes.

 

One fob is position 1 and the other is position 2.

 

As chuck1218 posted,

'Auto Memory Recall' must be set to 'On' in settings for this to work.

 

For the Exit Position to work automatically,

'Easy Exit Options' must also be set to 'On'.

 

'Settings' is also where to enable things like auto mirror folding (with fob), reverse tilt mirror preference and so on.

[SierraMyst]

Yes.

 

One fob is position 1 and the other is position 2.

So "Auto Memory Recall" was turned off. I turned it back on.

 

Also, the manual says that it will auto recall the the memory position for the key that is inserted into the ignition and switched to ON or ACCESSORY.

 

I moved my seats out of position and turned the truck off. Unlocked the truck with key fob 1, nothing. Unlocked the truck with key fob 2, nothing.

 

Put the key fob 1 in the ignition and turned it to on, and the seats moved to memory setting 1.

 

Turned the truck off and turned it back on with key fob 2, and seats moved to memory position 2.

 

So it did exactly what the manual says it's supposed to do through the ignition, but there is no memory recall option for that moves the seats with the unlock button of the key fob. I have a 2016, so maybe something has changed, or I've misunderstood you guys.

 

It doesn't even work with remote start.

 

I have to squeeze into my wife's tiny adjusted seat, and turn the ignition on to get the recall to work. At that point, I may as well just hold the memory button down before I squeeze in.

 

Pretty silly feature if you ask me. This memory seat feature is as well engineered as the reverse tilt mirrors and the shift points in the transmission.

Apologies I've mislead you. You are correct, they have changed the way it works. What I was describing was the way they used to work (wife's 14 impala works that way, and I think the 15 trucks did to)

 

I think you need to use the 'exit position' programming for the problem you are describing.

 

With exit position set suitable for the larger driver, both will be able to get out.

 

I would then not matter what fob you have, you could still get into vehicle without moving seat first, movement to 1 or 2 occurs after key is turned.

 

 

For this example I set the exit position to be with the seat back so I know when it goes to exit (normally I have exit and position1 set the same - seat doesn't move unless someone else uses truck)

 

Unlock with fob 1. Seat stays in exit position.

Insert key. When key turned, seat moves to position1.

Shut off. No movement.

Open door - seat moves to exit position.

Get out shut and lock with fob1. Seat stays at exit position.

 

Open with fob1. No seat movement until key inserted and turned - then it moves to 1 as above.

Off and Open door - moves to exit position.

Out close and lock.

 

Open with fob2. Stays at exit position.

Insert key and turn key. Seat moves to position2.

Turn off remove key. seat stays the same.

Open door, seat moves to exit position.

 

And I missed that the dic indicates which memory positions are in use ( 1 or 2 ) when it moving to position 1 or 2.

I like this....good idea keeping exit setting on. It will always default back furthest back setting. The ignition turn will revert to 1 or 2.

 

Good deal. Thank you.

[chuckl1218]

I thought there was a way to make this work for you...but I turned this off because my wife never drives my truck. Glad this will help. I do understand the dilemma. My wife is short.
