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 ob-
jects reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. This means that esti-
mations of the distance to following
traffic should not be regarded as pre-
cise.<
Your BMW center can adjust your
vehicle's systems in such a man-
ner that your personalized settings are
automatically called up for the mirror
adjustment when you unlock the vehi-
cle with your personal remote control.<
Electric heaters
Both mirrors are automatically heated
with the ignition key in position 2.
Inside rearview mirror with
automatic dimming feature
By responding to the effects of ambient
light and the glare from following traffic,
this mirror automatically dims through
an infinitely-variable range.
The mirror automatically reverts to its
clear, undimmed setting whenever you
move the selector lever to "Reverse."
To ensure that the mirror continues to
operate properly, keep the two photo-
cells clean and unobstructed. One
photocell is in the mirror glass (arrow),
while the other is offset somewhat on
the other side of the mirror.
For an explanation of the electrochro-
mic technology used in this mirror, refer
to page 192.
