Exterior mirrors

Convex Mirrors
If equipped, the convex exterior mir‐
ror on the passenger side reduces
blind spots. The shape of the mirror
makes objects appear smaller, which
will affect the ability to estimate dis‐
tances. Because of that, the warning
text OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR ARE
CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR is
printed on the mirror glass.
Power Mirrors
Select the relevant exterior mirror by
turning the control to left (L) or right
(R). Then swivel the control to adjust
the mirror.
In position § no mirror is selected.
Folding Mirrors
For pedestrian safety, the exterior
mirrors will swing out of their normal
mounting position if they are struck
with sufficient force. Reposition the
mirror by applying slight pressure to
the mirror housing.
Electric folding
Turn control to §, then push the con‐
trol down. Both exterior mirrors will
fold.
Push the control down again - both
exterior mirrors return to their original
position.
If an electrically folded mirror is man‐
ually extended, pressing down the
control will only electrically extend the
other mirror.
