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 objects
reflected in the mirror are closer than
they appear. This means that
estimations of the distance to following
traffic should not be regarded as
precise.<
Your BMW center can adjust your
vehicle's systems in such a
manner that your personalized setting is
automatically called up for the mirror
position when you unlock the vehicle
with your personal key.<
Electric heaters
Both mirrors are automatically
defrosted with the ignition key in
position 2.
Interior and exterior mirrors,
automatic dimming feature
By responding to the effects of ambient
light and the glare from following traffic,
these mirrors dims automatically
through an infinitely-variable range.
The mirrors automatically revert to their
clear, undimmed setting whenever you
engage reverse gear.
To ensure that the mirrors continue to
operate properly, keep the two photo-
cells in the interior mirror clean and
unobstructed. One photocell (arrow) is
in the mirror glass, while the other is
offset somewhat on the opposite side
of the mirror.
For an explanation of the electro-
chromic technology used in this mirror,
refer to page 179.
