Note
- If the mirror housing was moved by outside
forces (such as an impact when maneuver-
ing), you must use the power folding func-
tion to fold the mirror all the way out. The
mirror housing must not be moved back in-
to place by hand because this would impair
the function of the mirror mechanism.
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must fold the exterior mirrors in
to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors.
Never fold power folding exterior mirrors by
hand. Only fold them in and out using the
power controls.
