rocker button (A) fig. 81 in point (2). To
bring the mirrors back to open position,
press point (1) of the button.
WARNING If the mirrors are folded
electrically, they should be returned to
the open position electrically: do not try
to return the mirrors manually to driving
position.
Manual folding
To fold the mirrors manually, move
them from position (1) fig. 80 to
position (2). If the mirrors have been
folded manually, they can be returned
to the opening position both manually
and electrically.

electrically to the opening position,
press point (2) of the rocker button (A)
fig. 81 until you hear an engagement
"click", then press again point (1) of the
button.
Folding forwards
The mirrors can be manually folded
forwards (position (3) fig. 80) or brought
to the opening position (2) again
manually if they have been accidentally
rotated forwards (for example due to a
collision).
If the mirrors have been rotated
forwards manually or due to a collision,
they can be returned to the opening
position both manually and electrically.
To take the mirrors electrically to the
opening position, press point (2) of
the rocker button (A) fig. 81 until you
hear an engagement "click", then press
again point (1) of the button.
WARNING If the mirrors have been
manually folded by mistake to position
(3) fig. 80, the mirror moves to an
intermediate position. In this case,
manually rotate the mirror to position
(1), then press point (2) of the rocker
button (A) fig. 81 to return the mirror to
position (2) until a "click" is heard, then
press point (1) of the button to bring it
back to position (1).

minutes.
WARNING
33)
As the driver's exterior mirror is
curved, it may slightly alter the perception
of distance of the reflected image. Further,
the reflective surface of the lower part of
the exterior mirrors is parabolic to increase
the field of view. The size of the reflected
image is reduced and gives the impression
that the reflected object is further away
than it is.
34)
Vehicles and other objects seen
through a convex external mirror appear
smaller and more distant than they really
are. Over-relying on this type of mirror can
result in collisions with other vehicles or
other objects. It is recommended to use
the interior mirror to estimate the size or
distance of a vehicle when viewed from a
convex side mirror.
35)
While driving the mirrors must remain
in position (1).
