Headlight cleaning system
Read and observe
and
Headlights are cleaned under the following conditions.
The ignition is switched on.
The low beam is switched on.
The outside temperature is about -12° C to +39° C.
To clean the headlights, the headlamp is also sprayed after every ten squirts.
The adjustment of the spray interval can be adjusted by a specialist garage
(maximum after every twentieth spraying of the windscreen).
To ensure the correct functioning of the system, even in winter, this needs to
be regularly cleared of snow and ice (e.g. using the de-icing spray).
Rear view mirror
Introduction
WARNING
Exterior mirrors increase the field of view, however, make objects appear
smaller and further away. Therefore, use the rear-view mirror to determine
the distances to the following vehicles.
WARNING
The mirrors with automatic dimming contain electrolyte fluid which may
■
leak if the mirror glass is broken - this can irritate skin, eyes and the respira-
tory system.
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.
Seek medical assistance if required.

The mirror dimming

is automatically controlled after the engine start.
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the
mirror moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).
WARNING
Attach external devices (e.g. navigation system) not in the vicinity of the
■
mirror with automatic dimming. The illuminated display of an external de-
vice can affect the function of the rear-view mirror - it could cause an acci-
dent.
The automatic dimming mirror only functions smoothly if the light falling
■
on the sensors is not compromised (e.g. by the sunshade at the back). The
sensors are located on the front and back of the mirror.
