Driving Tips
If the automatic dimming is switched on, the mirror dims automatically depending
on the light striking the mirror from the rear. The mirror has no lever on the bot-
tom edge of the mirror. After the reverse gear is engaged, the mirror always
moves back into the normal position.
Do not attach external navigation devices on the windscreen or in the vicinity of
the automatic dimming interior mirror ⇒

WARNING
The display lighting of the external navigation device may cause malfunction
of the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.
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 ex-
terior mirror dimming is switched off.
Exterior mirror
You can adjust the exterior mirrors electrically.
Adjust the rear mirror before commencing to drive so that there is a clear view to
