It would be nice to have a feature that can be turned on that dips the wing mirrors down so you can see where the curb is when reverse parking.

I know there is a 360 camera, but it can still be difficult to tell where exactly the curb is. It is a pain to stop parking to manually dip the mirror to see the curb.

 

I've had Merc's, BMW's and Hyundai's that have this feature, despite having 360 cameras as well.

I have heard before that this needs electric seats with memory settings.

This isn’t available for Focus atleast. But I guess Mach-e has memory buttons

for seat, steering and side mirror settings?

Then this feature should be very easy for Ford to add.

Actually dipping mirrors on reserving is available in USA, and can be enabled through Forscan. Yeah most premium cars have it it for a decade at least.

I tried to turn it on, on my Focus ST-line X mk4 estate. Fully loaded tech wise.

It didn’t do a thing.

Then I read on the forums that it needs electric seats with memory.

It actually uses the memory to call back the last position.

 

It can also be that Focus does not support this feature at all.

Many with F150 did turn it on with success though. All with memory for seats.

While you are right @JasIII that it can be turned on via Forscan, this is indeed something that could very easily be implemented to be a toggle switch from the APIM. It is something I would like to see as well.
