Electrically adjustable rear mirror
The heating of the external mirror functions only when ignition is
switched on.
Heating of the external mirror
– Turn the rotary knob to position
⇒ fig. 53.
Adjusting left and right exterior mirrors simultaneously
– Turn the rotary knob to position
. The movement of the mirror
surface is identical to the movement of the rotary knob.
Adjusting the right-hand exterior mirror
– Turn the rotary knob to position
. The movement of the mirror
surface is identical to the movement of the rotary knob.
Folding in both exterior mirrors*
– Turn the rotary knob to position
.
Tilting surface of front passenger exterior mirror*
When the rotary knob is in position ⇒ fig. 53 and the reverse gear is
engaged, the surface of the mirror tilts down slightly. This provides an aid
in seeing the kerb of the pavement when parking the car.
If you shift out of reverse gear, or switch over to the driver exterior mirror
in position , the mirror surface on the passenger side moves back into the
original position.
Memory for exterior mirrors*
On vehicles fitted with a memory for the driver seat, the relevant setting of
the exterior mirror is also stored automatically when the seat position is
stored ⇒ page 75.
WARNING
• Convex (curved outward) or a spherical exterior mirrors
increase the vision field. They do, however, make objects appear
smaller in the mirror. These mirrors are only of limited use, there-
fore, for estimating distances to the following vehicles.
• Use whenever possible the interior rear-view mirror, for esti-
mating the distances to the following vehicles.
Caution
If the mirror housing has been shifted out of position as a result of external
force (e.g. striking an object when parking), the mirror must then be folded
in fully with the electric motor. On no account attempt to move the mirror
housing back by hand otherwise proper operation of the mirror mecha-
nism will be affected. This applies only to models fitted with the fold-in
function for -both exterior mirrors*.
