Adjustments

To prevent the exterior mirrors on this
vehicle from being damaged, always
fold them in by hand before entering an
automatic car wash.<
Adjusting manually
You can also adjust the mirrors manually:
Press the edges of the mirror glass.
Storing the mirror positions, refer to Seat
and mirror memory on page 29.
Convex mirror
The mirror on the passenger's side
features a lens with a more convex
surface than the mirror installed on the
driver's side. When estimating the distance
between yourself and other traffic, bear in
mind that the objects reflected in the mirror
are closer than they appear. This means
that estimations of the distance to following
traffic should not be regarded as precise.<
Electric heaters
Both mirrors are heated automatically in
ignition key position 2.
Passenger-side exterior mirror tilt
function
Automatic curb monitor*
1. Select the driver's exterior mirror with
the switch 1
2. When you engage reverse gear or
selector-lever position R, the exterior
mirror on the front passenger side tilts
downward slightly. This allows the
driver to see the area immediately adja-
cent to the vehicle – such as a curb –
when parking, etc.
You can have the angle of downward
tilt set in dependence on the key
used.<
Interior rearview mirror
To reduce the dazzle effect of following
vehicles at night, turn the knob.
Interior and exterior mirrors,
automatic dimming feature*
These mirrors automatically dim through an
infinitely-variable range. They automatically
revert to their undimmed mode whenever
the transmission is placed in reverse gear
or selector lever in position R.
For trouble-free operation, keep the
photocells unobstructed and clean
and do not cover the area between the
interior rearview mirror and the windshield.
Do not attach any kind of stickers on the
windshield in front of the mirror, either.<
