How to Activate the Mirror Tilt Function on a Volkswagen Golf

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Instrument cluster

A very useful feature that exists on all Volkswagen Golfs, which not everyone is aware of, is the mirror tilt function when reversing, allowing you to see the kerb and avoid scratching the wheels. To do this, you need to activate the instrument cluster and enable the function in the settings on the infotainment screen. The mirror position selector must also be set to "R". At this point, the function is enabled, and when you engage reverse, you will see the mirror tilt downwards, allowing you to see the kerb and avoid scraping against it.
