Default Driver mirror won't move to curb in reverse...

Just purchased a 2006 V1, have a 6 month 3,000 mi warranty and trying to get all the bugs out before it's up. My driver mirror will not move with the "mirror to curb in reverse" option selected. I have googled this problem with little success, I was wondering if anyone could offer some insight on this matter. Thanks in advance for the input.

It's in your personalization settings. You can switch "mirror to curb in reverse" on or off. Mine is on, but only the passenger side mirror will tilt. The driver side mirror is fully functional but will not tilt to curb in reverse. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Drivers side does not do that only the passenger side does.

As mentioned above, only passenger mirror is supposed to face down.

Thanks for the quick responses, I drove an 07' about six months ago and I swear both mirrors faced down. I could be wrong, just checking to make sure.

Occasionally my drivers mirror will freak out and point down when I unlock the car, but thats my best guess.
