WARNING
Failure to correctly estimate the distance of
the
vehic
le behind could lead to serious acci-
dent.
Rear-view convex or aspheric mirrors in-
crease the field of vision, however objects ap-
pear smaller and further away in the mirrors.
The use of these mirrors to estimate the
distance to the next vehicle when changing
lane is imprecise and could result in serious
accident.
If possible, use the rear vision mirror to es-
timate distances to vehicles behind you or in
other circumstances.
Make sure that the rear visibility is ade-
quate.
CAUTION
Befor
e entering a car wash, always ensure
that the exterior mirrors are correctly folded
in.
Electrically-folding exterior mirrors should
not be folded and unfolded mechanically as
this may damage the electrical operation.
For the sake of the environment
The exterior mirror heating should be switch-
ed off when it i
s no longer needed. Other-
wise, it is an unnecessary fuel waste.
Note
The exterior mirr
or heating initially heats
up with a high power, after two minutes the
heat will depend upon the ambient tempera-
ture.
In the event of a fault, the electric exterior
mirrors can be adjusted manually by pressing
the edge of the mirror surface.
