    I like the auto-down feature on the passenger's side mirror when you're in reverse. Don't forget to turn it on under Car and also have your wing mirror adjuster set to L (I think!).

      Spot on, took me a while at first because I didn't move the mirror nob to the L position. There is a complicated setup procedures in the manual to make the mirror dip down to the level you want.

      ----
      Storing front passenger exterior mirror settings for reversing
      Select a valid vehicle key on which the settings should be saved.
      Unlock the vehicle using this key.
      Switch on the electronic parking brake.
      Switch on the ignition.
      Put the gearbox into neutral.
      For reverse gear exterior mirror lowering function press the CAR button and the SETUP and Mirrors and wipers function buttons in the infotainment system → Menu and system settings (SETUP)   .
      Select reverse gear.
      Adjust the exterior mirror on the front passenger side so that you have a good view of the kerb area.
      The settings for the mirror position will be saved automatically and assigned to the vehicle key that is used to unlock the vehicle.
      Selecting the settings for the front passenger exterior mirror
      Turn the rotary knob for the exterior mirrors to position L.
      With the ignition switched on, select reverse gear.
      The front passenger exterior mirror will move out of the position saved for reversing when the vehicle is driven forwards faster than approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or when the rotary knob is moved out of position R into another position.

        Discovered this weird one tonight - when driving in Eco mode, the cornering lights don't illuminate. They'll only work in Normal, Comfort, Sport or Custom driving modes. Strange. Wouldn't have thought a cornering light would use that much power they'd feel the need to disable them in Eco. Wonder if it can be changed with VCDS?

            It looks far more complicated than it actually is.

            1. Put car in reverse.
            2. Adjust LH side mirror to where you'd like it
            3. Leave the rotary adjustment know on L.

            That's it.

              Once setup it is easy. the mirror automatic moves to the set position when put into reverse and back to normal once the car is moving forward.

              Will try out the ECO mode with the cornering light next time driving at night.

              More features:
              When making the window to go up and there is something blocking its path, then the window will go down automatically. You can force it go up if you keep on pulling the lever.

              When in Navigation mode, you can overlay the on the display with what is playing(radio, music etc).

                I love holding down the unlock button on the key fob to wind down all of the windows before getting into your car on a hot day. Using the lock button similarly to wind up all the windows you forgot you had down is also nifty.

                  Nice one, you can set it to have all 4 windows or just the driver's door. If you have the push start function, you can press on the door handle to have the windows go up too. And ofcourse, inside the handle to have the windows down.
