Estimating distances correctly
Objects reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. Do not estimate the distance
to the traffic behind you based on what you see
in the mirror, as this will increase your risk of an
accident.◀
The setting for the exterior mirrors is stored for
the remote control* currently in use. The stored
position is called up automatically when the ve‐
hicle is unlocked.
