Operating the outside mirrors
& WARNING Risk of injury from adjusting
the vehicle settings while the vehicle is in

following situations:
if you adjust the driver's seat, the head
R
restraint, the steering wheel or the mirror
while the vehicle is in motion
if you fasten your seat belt while the vehi‐
R
cle is in motion
Before starting the engine: adjust the
#
driver's seat, the head restraint, the
steering wheel or the mirror and fasten
your seat belt.
& WARNING Risk of accident due to mis‐
judgment of distances when using the
passenger mirror
The outside mirror on the front-passenger
side reflects objects on a smaller scale. The
objects in view are in fact closer than they
appear.
As a result, you may misjudge the distance
between you and the road user driving
behind you, for example, when changing
lanes.
Therefore, always look over your shoul‐
#
der in order to ensure that you are
aware of the actual distance between
you and the road users driving behind
you.

Resetting the outside mirrors
