Mirrors
You can also adjust the mirrors manu-
ally by pressing against the outer edges
of their lenses.
When estimating the distance
between yourself and other traffic,
bear in mind that the objects reflected
in the mirror are closer than they
appear. This means that estimates of
the distance to following traffic should
not be regarded as precise.<
Electric defrosting
Both mirrors are automatically
defrosted with the ignition key in posi-
tion 2.
Interior rearview mirror with
automatic dimmer
This mirror automatically responds to
ambient light and headlamp glare from
following vehicles by dimming through
an infinitely-variable range. The dim-
ming function is regulated by two pho-
tocells. One is integrated in the mirror's
frame, refer to arrow, while the other is
located at an offset position on the rear
of the mirror.
520de019
The mirror switches to its clear,
undimmed mode whenever you shift
into reverse.
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 on the wind-
shield in front of the mirror, either.
For a more detailed explanation of the
electrochromic technology used in this
mirror, please refer to page 154.
