HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Notes for vehicles with convex or
aspherical outside mirrors*
Convex
(curved outwards) mirrors
enlarge the field of view but they make
objects look smaller.
These mirrors
make it difficult to estimate how far
away a following vehicle is.
Aspherical or bifocal
outer mirrors have
a mirror surface with different curvature.
This
wide-angle mirror
increases the
area of vision even more than conven-
tional convex mirrors.
Their usefulness
is limited when judging the distance to
vehicles approaching from behind.
Folding in exterior mirrors
(in parking position)
The outside mirrors of the vehicle can be
folded in.
To do this pull mirror housing towards the
vehicle until the retainer catches.
The mirrors are kept folded in by this
retainer.
To fold them out again, press in towards
the vehicle, press the retainer in (arrow
A
)
and lead them manually into the position
of use and then release the mirrors.
Note
Before putting the vehicle through an
automatic washing plant, it is advisable
to fold the outside mirrors in to prevent
them from becoming damaged.
Putting the outside mirrors into
position of use
Press mirror in towards vehicle, press
retainer in (arrow
A
) and fold mirror out.
Warning
When folding mirror out ensure
that the fingers are not trapped
between mirror and bracket – Dan-
ger of injury.
