Mirrors
Exterior mirrors
The front passenger's mirror is more convex
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; other-
wise there is an increased risk of an accident.

1 Adjustments
2 Switching to the other mirror or automatic
curb monitor *
3 Folding mirrors in and out *
The settings for the exterior mirrors are stored
for the remote control currently in use
* , refer to
Personal Profile, page 28 . The stored positions
are 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 could be beneficial in
narrow streets, for example, or for moving mir-
rors that were folded in manually back out to
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 by hand or with
button 3, to prevent them from being damaged
due to the width of the vehicle. <
Automatic heating
At outside temperatures below a certain limit,
both exterior mirrors are automatically heated
while the engine is running or the ignition
switched on.
Passenger-side mirror tilt function –

driver to see the area immediately adjacent
to the vehicle, e.g. a curb when parking.
Deactivating
Push the switch to the position for the front pas-
senger's mirror, arrow
