Visibility
WARNING
Convex or wide-angle* exterior mirrors
give a lar
ger field of vision. However, they
make objects look smaller and further
away than they really are. If you use these
mirrors to estimate the distance to vehicles
behind you when changing lane, you could
misjudge the distance. Risk of accident!
WARNING
Fold and unfold the exterior mirror, taking
care to av
oid injuries.
●
Only fold or unfold the exterior mirror
when there is no-one in the way of the mir-
ror.
●
When moving the mirror, take care not to
trap fingers between the mirror and the
mirror bracket.
CAUTION
●
If for any reason (e
.g. a bump when ma-
noeuvring) one of the rear view mirrors is
knocked out of position, the mirrors must
first be fully retracted with the electric
control. The rear view mirror must not be
placed by hand in the starting position, as
the folding mechanism can be damaged.
●
Before washing the vehicle in an auto-
matic car wash, please make sure to fold
the exterior mirrors in to prevent them from
being damaged. Electrically retractable
exterior mirrors must not be folded in or out
by hand, always use the electrical power
control.
Note
●
If the el
ectrical adjustment should f
ail to
operate, both of the mirrors can be adjus-
ted by hand by lightly pressing the edge of
the mirror glass.
●
The fold-in function on the exterior mir-
rors will not activate at speeds over
40 km/h (25 mph).
