The issue may be that to do this, you need a constant electrical draw, and it was not deemed worth it for the city car nature of the design (there'd be cars there most of the time in a busy city!). But, if you have the option, it does scan for parking spaces below a certain speed while driving straight. The range of those isn't all that great.

The magic to adjusting mirrors 'properly' is to lean towards the mirror in question, and adjust it so you can just see the side of the car. THen, when sitting normally, it shows you what had been in those blind spots. The only time you may want them tilted in more, is if the rear-view mirror is obstructed by some load you're carrying, and then you need to be able to see directly behind you. Done correctly, you should be able to see three pretty much full lanes., and be able to view someone passing you in the mirror until they are easily visible out your side windows.
