.

Adjusting manually

You can also adjust the mirrors manually by
pressing against the outer edges of their mirror
glass.

Folding mirrors in and out*

Pressing button

3 allows you to fold mirrors

in and out up to a speed of approx. 20 mph/
30 km/h. This is advantageous, for example, in
car washes, narrow streets or for bringing mir-
rors that have been manually folded in back into
the correct position. Mirrors that were folded in
are folded out automatically at a speed of
approx. 25 mph/40 km/h.

Before going through a car wash, fold the
mirrors in manually, or with button

3, oth-

erwise they could be damaged, depending on
the width of the car wash system.

Interior and exterior mirrors,
automatic dimming feature*

This feature is controlled by two photocells in
the interior rearview mirror. One is integrated
into the glass of the mirror, while the other is
located at an offset position on the rear of the
mirror housing.
For trouble-free operation, keep the photocells
clean and do not cover the area between the
interior rearview mirror and the windshield. Do
not attach stickers of any kind to the windshield
in front of the mirror, either.
