To turn off the reverse tilt mirrors feature in Nissan vehicles, follow these simple steps. This guide is designed for Nissan owners who find the automatic tilting of side mirrors while reversing inconvenient.

Understanding Reverse Tilt Mirrors

The reverse tilt feature allows the side mirrors to tilt downwards automatically when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. This is intended to provide better visibility of the curb or parking lines, reducing the chances of curbing wheels or hitting obstacles. However, many drivers prefer to disable this feature for various reasons.

Steps to Disable Reverse Tilt Mirrors

To effectively turn off the reverse tilt mirrors, adhere to these instructions:

  • Adjust the Mirror Selector: Locate the mirror control switch inside your vehicle. This switch typically has three positions: left, right, and center.

  • Set to Center Position: Move the mirror selector switch to the center position. When this switch is in the center, the mirrors will not tilt down when you shift into reverse.

  • Test the Feature: After adjusting the mirror selector, put your vehicle into reverse. If done correctly, you should observe that the mirrors remain in their original position and do not tilt downwards.

Additional Notes

  • Model Variability: The ability to turn off this feature may vary by model and year. Some newer models may have different configurations for mirror controls.

  • Reactivating the Feature: If you wish to reactivate the reverse tilt feature, simply move the mirror selector switch back to either left or right position before shifting into reverse.

  • Safety Consideration: While disabling this feature can enhance visibility for some drivers, it's important to ensure you maintain adequate rear visibility when reversing.
