I don't think my GTi + came with............reverse activated kerb-view adjustment on passenger’s side!!!
Are there country variations?

UK GTI / GTI+ should have reverse activated kerb side mirror. It won’t have been set up automatically to work - you will need to set it up before it’ll work. I had it on my previous VW (Golf GTD) and found it really useful. Unfortunately, my current car (a previous generation Polo GTI) doesn’t have it.
From memory, you activate it as follows;
1. Turn on ignition, but don't start the engine (i.e. you need to be in the ‘accessories’ setting, when the dashboard warning lights are illuminated).
2. Select reverse gear.
3. Select passenger side mirror (‘L’) on mirror control knob.
4. Adjust passenger side mirror so you can see the kerb and leave the mirror adjustment control knob set to ‘L’.
5. Take car out of reverse gear and return to neutral, or Park in DSG gearbox.
6. Turn off the ignition and the passener side mirror should return to the normal position it was in before you adjusted it to see the kerb, and the car should remember the dipped position you’ve set in step 4. above.
If you keep the mirror control set at the passenger side mirror (‘L’ for RHD cars), it’ll then always dip when you select reverse. If you’ve reversed and the n/s mirror is pointing down to the kerb, It’ll move back to the normal position when you move forward and you speed increases to (I think) 10mph.
Edit; I don’t know if the current Polo has a ‘reverse dip’ option in the vehicle settings menu, accessed via the infotainment screen. If it does, then this will also need to be ticked.
Edit #2: apologies, the GTI (non-plus) doesn’t have reverse activated kerbside mirror; it’s the R-Line and GTI+. It’s available as an extra cost option on all other models in the Polo range with the exception of the base model Polo S.
