WARNING
●
Conv
ex or aspheric mirrors increase the
field of vision however the objects appear
smaller and further away in the mirrors. If you
use these mirrors to estimate the distance to
vehicles behind you when changing lane, you
could make a mistake. Risk of accident.
●
If pos
sible, use the rear vision mirror to es-
timate distances to vehicles behind you.
●
Make sure that you do not get your finger
trapped between the mirror and the mirror
base when folding back the mirrors. Risk of
injury!
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
●
If the electric
al adjustment ever fails to op-
erate, the mirrors can be adjusted by hand by
lightly pressing the edge of the mirror glass.
●
In vehicles with electric exterior mirrors,
the following points should be observed: if,
due to an external force (e.g. being knocked
while manoeuvring), the adjustment of the
mirror housing is altered, the mirror will have
to be fully folded electrically. Do not readjust
the rear vision mirror housing by hand, as
this will interfere with the mirror adjuster
function.
●
The rear vision mirrors can be adjusted sep-
arately or simultaneously, as described
above.
●
The fold-in function on the exterior mirrors
will not activate at speeds over 40 km/h
(25 mph).
