Do side mirrors auto tilt when reversing on the 2025 Santa Fe SEL Hybrid?

I have a 2025 SEL Hybrid (USA), and I’ve been trying to figure out if the side mirrors tilt down when reversing to help see curbs better. Some people say their Santa Fe does this, and I’m used to having this feature on my other cars. I think it’s even mentioned in the manual.

I’ve heard that you need to leave the mirror adjustment button on either L or R for it to work, but that doesn’t seem to do anything for me. Can anyone confirm if this feature exists on the SEL trim?

If I leave my mirror adjustment switch on the left mirror and put the car in reverse, the mirrors tilt down. I’ve got a 2025 Hybrid Calligraphy.

Don’t you have cameras for this?

I do, but honestly, it’s so much easier to park near the curb and center the car between the lines when you have that feature.

Try this: leave the adjustment switch on L or R, put the car in reverse, and then adjust the mirrors down while holding the brake pedal. That might save the position for next time.

I’ll give that a try, thanks!

I just use the top-down view on the screen to center myself. It took some getting used to in my old Hyundai, but now it’s second nature.

I don’t think the SEL trim comes with that feature, unfortunately.

I have a 2024 Santa Fe Limited, and the mirrors tilt down automatically in reverse for me.

The base models don’t have all the fancy features. If setting the mirror switch doesn’t work, then your trim likely doesn’t support it.
