Default Setting mirrors in Reverse

Morning all, having picked up my new R Design yesterday and having spent time trying to get to grips with everything, one thing I'm struggling with is setting the dipping mirrors in reverse to the setting for me and getting them to stay there. I've ticked the box on the Sensus and tried every combo of pressing memory while in reverse, in drive and still goes back to the original setting which isn't overly helpful for me. Anyone any ideas?

With the proviso that I have a V60 not XC90, if you don't use all the memory settings, why not use one of the memory settings to store your reverse settings?

That's what I have done at the moment, but surely there's a way to programme it properly! I'll keep playing around

I found this not possible the Xc60

The tilt of the rear mirror is preset and I have not found a way to change it

I found in the xc90 user manual "how to set the mirrors to tilt" but could not find "How to change the tilt"


Automatic angling of the door mirror when parking:

When reverse gear is engaged the door mirror is automatically angled down so that the driver can see the side of the road when parking for example. When reverse gear is disengaged the mirror automatically returns to its original position after a short time.
Settings for this function are set in the centre display:
Press Settings in the top view.
Press My CarMirrors.
Under Tilt Mirror in Reverse, select Off, Driver, Passenger or Both to activate/deactivate and to select which review mirror should be angled.

That's what I'm beginning to wonder, the field of view though is completely different for me being 6'2" with the seat down and back than a 4'11" midget hugging the steering wheel 😂. Seems daft, had the option on my disco 4, will contact Volvo and see if they know if it's possible

So the word from Volvo is that this is not possible! Oh wel, I'll get used to it, maybe it will come on a software update......please Mr Volvo 👍🏼
