Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror dimming
Exterior mirrors
WARNING
Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of
■
vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These
mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the fol-
lowing vehicles.
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
■
the following vehicles.
WARNING
The mirrors with automatic dimming contain an electrolyte liquid which can
escape if mirror glass is broken.
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath appara-
■
tus.
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-
■
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. If
necessary get medical assistance.
