Automatic anti -glare for the outside mirrors
The outside mi rrors dim at the same time as the inside mirror . When
t he ignition is switched on, the mir rors aut omatical ly dim

lights shining into the vehicle from the rear).

0 Note
• Curved (i. e. convex) mirror sur faces increase your fi eld of view.
Remember that vehic les or other objects w ill appear smaller and
farther away than when seen in a fla t mi rror . If you use this mirror to
estimate distances of fol lowing vehicles when changing lanes, you
cou ld estimate incorrectly and cause an accident .
• If the mirror housing is moved unintentional ly (for example,
while park ing your vehicle), then you must fi rst fo ld the mirror elec-
trically . Do not readjust the mirror housing manually. You could
damage the motor which controls the mirro r.
