WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex) enlarge the
field of vision . However, they make objects in
the mirror appear smaller and further away .
Your may estimate incorrect ly when you use
these mirrors to gauge your d istance from the
vehicles behind you when changing lanes - ac-
cident risk!
CD
Note
If the mirro r housing was moved by outside
forces (such as an impact when maneuver-
ing), you must use the power folding function
to fold the mirror all the way out . The mirror
housing must not be
moved
back into place
by hand because this would impair the func-
tion of the mirror mechanism.

Tips
If the power adjusting function malfunctions,
the glass in both mirrors can be adjusted by
