Some Questions and a few thoughts

[joe1166]

Hi all,

I have had mu baby for 4 days now and covered around 300 miles. Two long journeys and lost of little trips to anywhere - basically any excuse to drive.

2012 991.1S Agate grey, leather Bermester stereo. Gloss blacks 20 CS rims

Questions:
Reverse Dip mirrors - how!, Could I not have that function, I have folding mirrors. I have tried most buttons and most options - there must be a simple answer.

Speed limits - I have set the POI's and the personal settings but still no limits show.

Comments:
Wow what a car, seems very sure footed even in the current stormy condition. Maybe too much confidence, I'm thinking of a Porsche driving course, just so I know the limits - before I pass them. Any comments appreciated.

The button gear shifters. Initially I was concerned about these and really wanted the paddles. However, I have used paddles before and never really got on with them, so I went ahead with this car. I am so glad I did, I find the buttons marvellous to use, its so simple - pull to break, push to go - none of this nonsense about knowing your left from right. If I speced a new car, I would go for buttons - no question.

For the reversing mirror.
1. Press the Car button on PCM
2. Press the Option button or touch the tab of
the same name in the header.
3. Select "SET CAR”
> "Vehicle functions”
> "Light & visibility”
> "Reversing options”.
4. Select "Lower mirror” to activate ( ) or
deactivate ( ) the function.
5. Turn on ignition
6. Select reverse
7. Adjust mirror
8. press select on door
9. press the key symbol on door
10. select park
11. turn off ignition (Mirror should return to normal position)

When reverse is selected mirror should drop, and will return to normal position once you begin to move off or switch off engine
