Pinch protection system
Folding mirrors in and out*
If the belt hand-over encounters resistance on
moving in or out, it moves back slightly in the
opposite direction and stops in this position. To
reactivate the belt hand-over: open and close
the door or switch the ignition off and on.
At driving speeds up to approx.
12 mph/20 km/h, you can fold the mirrors in and
out by pressing button 3. This can be beneficial
in narrow streets, for example, or for moving
mirrors that were folded in by hand back out into
their correct positions. Mirrors that were folded
in are folded out automatically at a speed of
approx. 25 mph/40 km/h.
Although there is a pinch protection sys-
tem, always check that the maneuvering
area of the belt hand-over is clear. Otherwise it
cannot be ensured that the system will stop
moving in certain extreme situations.<
Before entering an automatic car wash,
fold in the exterior mirrors manually or
with button 3 to prevent them from being dam-
aged, depending on the width of the vehicle.<
Mirrors
Automatic heating
Exterior mirrors
Depending on the outside temperature, both
exterior mirrors are heated automatically when
the engine is running or the ignition is switched
on.
The front passenger's mirror is more con-
vex than the driver's mirror. The objects
seen in the mirror are closer than they appear.
Do not gauge your distance from traffic behind
you on the basis of what you see in the mirror;
otherwise, there is an increased risk of an acci-
dent.<

Folding mirrors in and out*
The setting for the exterior mirrors is stored for
the remote control currently in use*. The stored
position is called up automatically when the
vehicle is unlocked.
The glass of the mirror on the passenger
side tilts slightly down. This allows the
driver to see the area immediately adjacent
to the vehicle, e.g. a curb, when backing into
a parking space.
Manual adjustment
The mirrors can also be adjusted manually:
press the edge of the glass.
Deactivating
Push the switch to the position for the passen-
ger side mirror, arrow 2.
