WARNING
Convex (curved outward) or a spherical exterior mirrors increase the vision
■
field. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These mir-
rors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the following
vehicles.
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
■
the following vehicles.
CAUTION
Never mechanically fold in or fold back the exterior mirrors with the fold-in func-
tion  by hand as this will damage the electric drive.
Note
If the exterior mirrors were folded in using the rotary knob, they can only be fol-
■
ded back into the driving position using the rotary knob.
If the exterior mirrors were folded in using the remote control key and if the ro-
■
tary knob was in the fold-in position before the ignition was switched on, the mir-
rors will remain in the fold-in position the next time the ignition is switched on.
The mirrors are folded back into the driving position after the rotary knob is
turned from the position  to a different one.
