Resetting the exterior mirrors
If the battery has been disconnected or has
become discharged, the exterior mirrors
must be reset. Otherwise, they will not fold in
when you select the "Fold in mirrors when
locking" function in the on-board computer

The exterior mirrors fold out again auto-
R
matically as soon as you unlock the vehicle
and then open the driver's or front-
passenger door.

If you have activated this function and fold

will not be folded out automatically. You

Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors
The rear-view mirror and the exterior mirror
on the driver's side automatically go into anti-
dazzle mode if the ignition is switched on and
incident light from headlamps strikes the sen-
sor in the rear-view mirror.
The mirrors do not go into anti-dazzle mode if
reverse gear is engaged or the interior lighting
is switched on.
G Risk of accident
If incident light from the headlamps of other
vehicles is prevented from striking the sen-
sor in the rear-view mirror, for instance if
the draught stop is fitted, the mirror's auto-
matic anti-dazzle function will not operate.
Incident light could then dazzle you. This
may distract you from the traffic conditions,
and you may thereby cause an accident. In
this case, adjust the rear-view mirror man-
ually.
Passenger side exterior mirror park-
ing position
To make it easier to park, you can store the
front-passenger side exterior mirror position
in such a way that you can see the rear wheel
on that side as soon as you engage reverse
gear.
You can store a parking position for the exte-
rior mirror on the front-passenger side using
the memory button.
