Mirrors - Mercedes-Benz S 350 Owner's Manual

Mirrors

Before starting off, adjust the rear-view
mirror and the exterior mirrors in such a
way that you can get a good overview of
road and traffic conditions.
Exterior mirrors
G
Risk of accident
The exterior mirrors reduce the size of the
image. The objects are actually closer than
they appear. You could misjudge the dis-
tance from vehicles driving behind and
cause an accident, e.g. when changing lane.
For this reason, make sure of the actual dis-
tance from the vehicle driving behind by
glancing over your shoulder.
The convex exterior mirrors give a larger
field of vision.
i
Your exterior mirrors are automatically heat-
ed at low outside temperatures.
