Mirrors

Exterior mirrors

The front passenger's mirror is more con-
vex than the driver's mirror. The objects

seen in the mirror are closer than they appear.
Do not gauge your distance from traffic behind
you on the basis of what you see in the mirror;
otherwise, there is an increased risk of an acci-
dent.

curb monitor

3 Folding mirrors in and out

The setting for the exterior mirrors is stored for
the remote control currently in use

. The stored

position is called up automatically when the
vehicle is unlocked.

Manual adjustment

The mirrors can also be adjusted manually:
press the edge of the glass.

Folding mirrors in and out*

At driving speeds up to approx. 12 mph/
20 km/h, you can fold the mirrors in and out by
pressing button

3. This can be beneficial in nar-

row streets, for example, or for moving mirrors
that were folded in by hand back out into their
correct positions. Mirrors that were folded in are
folded out automatically at a speed of approx.
25 mph/40 km/h.

Before entering an automatic car wash,
fold in the exterior mirrors manually or

with button

3 to prevent them from being dam-

aged, depending on the width of the vehicle.

Automatic heating*

Depending on the outside temperature, both
exterior mirrors are heated automatically when
the engine is running or the ignition is switched
on.
