Put the mirror switch to "L" and leave it there.

 

Engage reverse and the mirror should tilt down.

To set it up for first time, manually adjust tilt and press set, in addition to what you described. I like this feature too.

most irritating feature ever since we don't really parallel park curbside much in sg. I can't remember which car has this. Think it was the teana when i was test driving.

I love the mirror tilt feature too and I also park at hdb mscp. Super useful for all sorts of parking and removes the need to stick fugly round mirrors.

I park in the open air carpark, need to use it to see the lines

 

I also have the mirror, but not for parking. It's to avoid kerbing my time at tight ramps. Without this fugly mirror I am at a higher risk of kerbing it. #skillnotenoughlah

it helps u see the line of the carpark lot but doesnt help u see the side of the car beside which u are parking.

 

Anyway I'm just very used to parking with normal mirrors so for me, there's really no need to use any blind spot mirrors/mirror tilt for parking rear in. 

But i admit I'm not good at parallel parking.

Kodiaq 1.4L

 

Kodiaq 1.4 does not have the tilt side mirror while reversing feature. It is only found on the 2.0L

[Topgun00]

The tilt down can be adjusted to your preference. It's possible to see both the line and the surrounding areas.

Have you also tried this method attached which is found in Kodiaq manual?

 

Any other 1.4 Kodiaq owners can confirm if this is true?

From what I know, you can't find the option in the infotainment system. I have also tried to set it but to no avail. This was the first thing I tried as it was available on my VW Sportsvan but not found on my Kodiaq 1.4. =(

 

I went to check with my colleague and was told that this feature from SKODA is linked to the electric power seats (as verified by the screenshot on the Kodiaq User Manual below). So only the Kodiaq 2.0l Style has electrical front seats & this feature that comes along with it. I'm pretty sure it can't be done officially. There are some who say that they can get a 3rd party OBD tool to program it to tilt while reversing but I've done my fair share of research on online forums & have found out that it is not very reliable, so I've given up hope on this department. =)

For those considering at Rapid Spaceback, you may like to hold on for a while as new Rapid is already on the horizon..

Ok, trust you know better then.

 

Initially, I've also thought that only those with electric power seats can have this mirror tilt function but apparently many told me otherwise, and that vagcom is not required.

Haha, yah, I really miss this feature from my Sportsvan. Some of my research you can also read up below. Definitely can be done by 3rd party programming... just not sure how effective it is...

If it's driving sedan, then it's ok.

But if drive a big SUV or MPV, it takes time to get used to it.

Does the kodiaq 1.4 comes with personalisation feature? I.e you can save up to three profiles? When you turn on the ignition, you will be greeted by an option to select the profile. I know the golf comes with tilt down even though the seats are not electric.

Nope. It doesn't come with the personalization feature. My VW Sportsvan also had manual seats and tilt down reverse mirrors that's why I thought my Kodiaq 1.4 would have this feature too. I guess SKODA has decided to package this together with the electric seats, which is a bummer IMO...

Managed to find time to diy...

I was put off immediately by the big stick in front of the bonnet. Really cannot believe a high-end ride have to prop up the bonnet manually. 

 

Better remove it lah since now you got a elegant solution.

 

Curious if it is stock part for overseas market or an generic after market part.

One day the struts fail to lift, i can still use the big stick, so better leave it intact.

 

Anyways, I think RS has all along been in the non-premium category, unlike how VW positions the GTI or R. Should be the same overseas, unless maybe if it's L&K octy.
