Yes. But I cannot be 100% sure about the proceedure order.

In the owners manual it says that you have to go to the dealer to adjust this. There was some sort of adjustment on that the dealer was able to make. The mechanic claimed that now in order for the mirror to go down in reverse the mirror switch position was changed to the passenger side. While the car is in reverse and the mirror is down (and the switch is to the passenger side) just move the joystick and it will adjust the mirror position when you go into revervse.

I say I'm not sure because I don't know if the switch is to the driver side or passenger side to activate / deactivate the feature. If it is on the passenger side for the auto-mirror down just move the joystick when in reverse.

Hopefully that was clear...I'm running to lunch now!

Here is what they need to do to activate the custom reverse mirror tilt settings, print this and take it with you:

1. Connect the car to the DIS system.
2. Choose "1. Car Memory"
3. Choose "9. Seat/Mirror Memory"
4. Choose "2. Mirror Memory Automatic Kerb Parking Function"
5. Choose "1. Active" (It is set to "Inactive" by default)
6. Upload the new settings to the car.
7. Turn the ingnition off and then back on.
8. Disconnect the car from the DIS system.

To position the mirror:
1. Push the mirror selector switch to the passenger side.
2. Put the car in reverse. (The mirror should tilt down)
3. Adjust the mirror position to what ever makes you happy.
4. Put the car back into N or 1. (The mirror should tilt back up)

That's it. Now when ever you back up the mirror will adjust to your custom settings, instead of all the way down. Please note that the mirror adjustment selector switch must be set to the passenger side for this to work. This is opposite of the way it works by default.
