Hi Everyone!

My 2022 Hybrid Kuga Titanium comes with most functions enabled, except for mirror tilt on reverse.
I enabled this functionality with Forscan and programmed both mirror positions while in reverse. I'm very satisfied with the functionality, as it enables to switch from mirror tilt to non-tilt by the touch of the mirror button and lets me see the curbside while parking.

There is only just one problem with the passenger mirror:
1) If I put on reverse anytime after turning onthe car (which was off for a moderate time) and press the passenger side mirror button, that mirror tilts but -instead of tilting to the tire as memorized by me- it tilts to exactly the other side.
2) Nevertheless, if anytime after starting the car while in park I shortly press the "1" memory button (the only memory I use), then if I put reverse and press the passenger side mirror button, the mirror tilts to the correct position.
3) If memory button was pressed as per step 2), I can turn off the car and turn it on immediately and the mirror tilt will continue to tilting to the right position... the problem arises when the car has been off for longer time.. maybe the electronics is shut down after a few minutes.
Worthless to say that shortly pressing "1" memory button does not change the mirror position (as I'm the only one using it so mirror is always in position 1) nor memorizing a new position.
It sound like a bug in the system... and it only happens with the passenger door... the driver's door mirror tilts ok without having to press the memory button.
Any help/comments appreciated!

Behavior isn't unexpected as a lot depends on the firmware in the DDM/PDM and if you haven't done it by bit edit then there's a chance the easy method flipped something it shouldn't.
The settings in ForScan are a guestimate at best and what works on a Kuga may not work on an Escape (and vice versa) or something that works on an F150 may not work at all. Currently the closest platform to the 4G Kuga\Escape's logic is a Bronco so you may want to read the ForScan forums for a solution.

Also, not all modules load positions based on last use.
As an example, if you have the HUD you have to hit the memory button after starting the engine if you've made any adjustments to the default positions even if you've saved them to a memory button and that was the last one used.

THanks for your answer! I did not find related info but will do a little more of research and also will try to check what changes made the text mode.
