To
help you see the curb when backing
into
a
parking space,
the
surface of the mirror tilts
slightly. For this to happen, the knob must be in
the position for the front passenger's outside
mirror.

move out of reverse and

The mirror goes back
into its
original position
once you drive forward faster than 9 mph
(15
km/h)
or
turn the
ignition off.

WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex) enlarge
the
field of vision. However, they make objects in
the mirror appear smaller and further away.
Your may estimate incorrectly when you use
these mirrors to gauge your distance from the
vehicles behind you when
changing
lanes - ac-
cident risk!

Note
-
Applies to vehicles with power folding out-
side mirrors*: if the mirror
housing
was
moved by outside forces (such as an impact
when maneuvering), you must use the pow-
er folding function
to
fold the mirror all
the
way out. You will
hear
a loud noise when the
mirrors
are
latched
back
in place.
The mirror
housing
must
not be moved back
into
place
by hand
because this
would impair
the
func-
tion of the mirror mechanism.
