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.
Automatic heating
Below a certain outdoor temperature, both
exterior mirrors are heated whenever the
engine is running or the ignition is switched on.
