Memory setting for the exterior mirro rs*
When the seat position is saved in the memo-
ry, the position of the exte rior mirrors is saved
at t he same time ~ page 76 .
If the position of the passenger mirror is
changed whe n the vehicle is in reverse gear
and the switch is in the ® position, th is new
tilte d position will be automat ically saved to
the remote key when the vehicle is taken out
of reverse gear. To save, the rotary knob for
mirror adj ustment must be in the ® position,
the selector lever must be in the P position
and the ign ition must be off . This will now be-
come the stored setting when the vehicle is
put in reverse gear again .
Tilting the passenger's side exterior
mirror (only with seat memory )
When you move the selector lever into R (Re-
verse), the mir ror on the front passenger's
door (knob tu rned to @
Q
fig.
73) will tilt
slig htly downward. This make is easier for you
to see the curb w hen you are backing int o a
parking space.
The mirro r returns to its initia l position as
soon as reverse gear is disengaged and vehicle
speed is above about 9 mp h (15 km/h). The
mirror also retu rns to its initia l position if t he
switch is moved to the driver's exterior mirror

or the ignit ion is switched off.

crease your field of view. Remember t hat
vehicles or other objects will appear
smaller and farther away than when
seen in a flat mirror. If yo u use this mir-
ror to est imate distances of following
vehicles when changing lanes, you could
estimate incorrectly and cause an acci-
dent.
- If the mir ror housing is moved uninten-
tiona lly (for exampl e, while park ing your
vehicle), t hen you must first fo ld the mi r-

ror housing ma nually. You could damage
the motor which controls the mirror .
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, you must fold the exter ior mir-
rors in to reduce the risk of damage to
the mirrors . Never fold power fo lding ex-
terior mirrors* by hand. Only fo ld them
