Mirrors
Automatic heating
Below a certain outdoor temperature, both
exterior mirrors are heated whenever the
engine is running or the ignition is switched on.
Exterior mirrors
The mirror on the passenger's side is
more curved than the driver's mirror.
Objects reflected in the mirror are closer than
they appear. Do not estimate the distance of
following traffic based on what you see in the
mirrors, otherwise there is an increased acci-
dent risk.<

Switching to the other mirror or to the
automatic curb monitor
The mirror glass tilts downward somewhat
on the passenger's side. This allows the
driver to see the area immediately adjacent
to the vehicle – such as a curb – when park-
ing, etc.

Folding mirrors in and out*
Storing the mirror positions, refer to Seat, mir-
ror and steering wheel memory on page 47.
Adjusting manually
You can also adjust the mirrors manually by
pressing against the outer edges of their mirror
glass.
Deactivating
Slide switch into the passenger side mirror
position, arrow 2.
Folding mirrors in and out*
Interior rearview mirror
Pressing button 3 allows you to fold mirrors
in and out up to a speed of approx. 20 mph/
30
km/h. This is advantageous, for example, in
car washes, narrow streets or for bringing mir-
rors that have been manually folded in back into
the correct position. Mirrors that were folded in
are folded out automatically at a speed of
approx. 25 mph/40 km/h.
Before going through a car wash, fold the
mirrors in manually, or with button 3, oth-
erwise they could be damaged, depending on
the width of the car wash system.<
To reduce the dazzle effect of following vehi-
cles at night, turn the knob.
