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.

1 Adjusting the left or right exterior mirror
2 Folding mirrors in and out

Manual adjustment

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

Folding mirrors in and out*

Turn the knob beyond the pressure point in
direction 2. The mirrors can be folded in at road
speeds up to approx. 20 mph/30 km/h.
This can be beneficial in narrow streets, for
example, or for moving mirrors that were folded
in by hand back out into their correct positions.

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.

Interior rearview mirror

To reduce glare from vehicles behind you when
you are driving at night:
Turn the knob.

Interior and exterior mirrors,
automatic dimming feature*

For proper function:

Keep the photosensors clean

Do not cover the area between the interior
rearview mirror and the windshield

Do not place stickers or decals on the wind-
shield in front of the mirror.
