Adjusting manually
You can also adjust the mirrors manually by
pressing against the outer edges of their mirror
glass.
Folding mirrors in and out*
At driving speeds up to approx. 15 mph/
20 km/h, you can fold the mirrors in and out by
pressing button 3. This is an advantage, e.g. in
car washes and narrow streets, or for moving
mirrors that were manually folded in back into
the correct position.
Before entering an automatic car wash,
fold in the exterior mirrors by hand or with
button 3, to prevent them from being damaged
due to the width of the vehicle.<
Automatic heating
Both exterior mirrors are automatically heated
whenever the ignition is switched on.
Tilting down passenger-side exterior
mirror – automatic curb monitor
Activating
1. Push the mirror selector switch into the
driver's mirror position, arrow 1.
2. Engage transmission position R.
The mirror glass tilts downward somewhat
on the passenger's side. This allows the
driver to see the area immediately adjacent

ing, etc.
Deactivating
Push the mirror selector switch into the passen-
ger's mirror position, arrow 2.
Interior and exterior mirrors,
automatic dimming feature*
Two photocells in the interior rearview mirror
control this function. One is integrated into the
mirror's lens, the other is located offset from
this on the rear of the mirror housing.
For trouble-free operation, keep the photocells
clean and do not cover the area between the
interior rearview mirror and the windshield. Do
not attach any kind of stickers to the windshield
in front of the mirror either.
