SETUP
.
Tilt function for front passenger exterior mirror*
The mirror can automatically tilt slightly to provide a better view of the kerb
when parking backwards. The control must be in the position R for this fea-
ture to be operational.
The mirror returns to its original position as soon as you drive forwards at
over 15 km/h (10 mph) or switch off the ignition. It also returns to its origi-
nal position if the position of the control is adjusted.
WARNING
Convex or wide-angle* exterior mirrors give a larger field of vision. How-
ever, they make objects look smaller and further away than they really
are. If you use these mirrors to estimate the distance to vehicles behind
you when changing lane, you could misjudge the distance. Risk of acci-
dent!
CAUTION
If one of the mirror housings is knocked out of position (e.g. when park-
ing), the mirrors must first be fully retracted with the electric control. Do not
readjust the mirror housing by hand, as this will interfere with the mirror ad-
juster function.
Before washing the vehicle in an automatic car wash, please make sure
to retract the exterior mirrors to prevent them from being damaged. Electri-
cally retractable exterior mirrors must NOT be folded in or out by hand. Al-
ways use the electrical power control.
Note
If the electrical adjustment should fail to operate, both of the mirrors can be
adjusted by hand by lightly pressing the edge of the mirror glass.
Anti-dazzle rear vision mirrors
Your vehicle is fitted with an interior rear vision mirror with a
manual or automatic control for anti-dazzle position.
