Tilting surface of front passenger exterior mirror*
When the rotary knob is in position fig. 59 and the reverse gear is
engaged, the surface of the mirror tilts down slightly. This provides an aid
in seeing the kerb of the pavement when parking the car.
The mirror returns back into its initial position, if the speed is more than 15
km/h or the rotary knob is moved out of the position and put into another
position.
Memory for exterior mirrors*
On vehicles fitted with a memory for the driver seat, the relevant setting of
the exterior mirror is also stored automatically when the seat position is
stored page 82.
WARNING
Convex (curved outward) or aspherical exterior mirrors
increase the vision field. They do, however, make objects appear
smaller in the mirror. These mirrors are only of limited use, there-
fore, for estimating distances to the following vehicles.
Use whenever possible the interior rear-view mirror, for esti-
mating the distances to the following vehicles.
