Exterior mirrors
The mirror on the passenger's
side is more curved than the
driver's mirror. Objects reflected in the
mirror are closer than they appear.
This means that estimations of the dis-
tance to following traffic should not be
regarded as precise. The same is true
for the outer part of both mirrors.<

Folding mirrors in and out
Pressing button 3 allows you to fold
mirrors in and out up to a speed of
6 mph/10 km/h. This is advantageous,
for example, in narrow streets or for
bringing mirrors that have been manu-
ally folded-in back into the correct posi-
tion.
Before going through a car wash,
manually, or with button 3 fold the
exterior mirrors inward, otherwise they
could be damaged, depending on the
width of the car wash
