Note
Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the sun screen* for the rear
window in the housing on the luggage compartment cover is not in use or the light
striking the interior rear-view mirror is not affected by other objects.
Do not affix any stickers in front of the light sensor, so that you do not impair the
automatic dimming function or put it out of operation.
If you switch off the automatic dimming interior rear-view mirror, also the exte-
rior mirror dimming is switched off.

surface of the mirror tilts down slightly. This provides an aid in seeing the kerb of the
pavement when parking the car.
The mirror returns into its initial position, after the rotary knob is moved out of the

rior mirror is also stored automatically when the seat position is stored ⇒ page 76.
WARNING
Convex (curved outward) or spherical (differently curved) exterior
mirrors increase the vision field. They do, however, make objects appear
smaller in the mirror. These mirrors are only of limited use, therefore, for
estimating distances to the following vehicles.
Use whenever possible the interior rear mirror, for estimating the
distances to the following vehicles.
