Storing the "parking"
position of the door mirror
on the passenger side
On versions equipped with electric seats,
when engaging reverse for parking to
improve visibility the driver can adjust
(and store) the passenger's door mirror
to a position different than that used
commonly. To store mirror position pro-
ceed as follows:
❒ To perform storing, proceed as fol-
lows: engage reverse with car
stopped and electronic key fitted in-
to the ignition device;
❒ move device A-fig. 39 to position
2 (passenger door mirror selection);
❒ adjust the passenger door mirror to
obtain the best position for parking
manoeuvres;
❒ keep one of the buttons C-fig. 33
pressed for at least 3 seconds (see
paragraph "Seats" in this section).
Together with the passenger door mir-
ror "parking" position, also the driver
seat position and the driver door mirror
will be stored. The sound of a buzzer
will confirm that the mirror position has
been stored.

Recalling the passenger door
mirror "parking" position
Proceed as follows: fit the electronic key
into the ignition device, engage reverse,
move device A-fig. 39 to position 2
(passenger door mirror selection).
The mirror will set automatically to the
previously stored position.
If no parking position has been stored,
when engaging reverse the passenger
door mirror will slightly lower to favour
the parking manoeuvre.
The passenger door mirror will return au-
tomatically to its original position about
10 seconds after disengaging reverse,
immediately after exceeding 10 km/h
with forward gear or when moving de-
vice A-fig. 39 to 0.
Automatic door mirror
realignment
Each time the electronic key is fitted in-
to the ignition device the door mirrors
return automatically to the last position
reached and/or recalled before remov-
ing the electronic key from the ignition
device.
This enables mirror alignment if, when
the car is parked, one of the door mir-
rors has been moved manually and/or
accidentally.
Defrosting/demisting
The electric mirrors are fitted with heat-
ing coils which come into operation
when turning on the heated rear win-
dow (pressing button ().
IMPORTANT This function is timed
and is deactivated after a few minutes.
