66 Lights and Visibility
Note

If the exterior mirrors are folded in using the remote control* of the vehicle key,
these are folded back into the driving position after opening the door or switching on
the ignition.

If the exterior mirrors are folded in using the rotary knob
can only be folded back into the driving position using the rotary knob.

If the exterior mirrors were folded in using the remote control* of the vehicle key
and if the rotary knob was in the fold-in position before switching on the ignition, the
mirrors remain in the fold-in position the next time the ignition is switched on. Folding
back into the driving position is performed by actuating the rotary knob in a different
position from the fold-in position.

Do not touch the surfaces of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater is
switched on.

You can set the exterior mirrors by hand, if the power setting function fails at any
time by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.

Contact your specialist garage if a fault exists with the power setting of the exterior
mirrors.
Automatic dimming exterior mirror on the driver's side*
The exterior mirror on the driver's side is dimmed together with the interior mirror. If
the automatic dimming is switched on, the mirror dims automatically depending on
the light striking the mirror from the rear.
After the reverse gear is engaged, the mirror always moves back into the normal (not
dimmed) position.
Note

Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the sun screen* for the rear
window is not in use or the light striking the rear of the interior rear-view mirror is not
affected by other objects.

Do not affix any stickers in front of the light sensor, so that you do not impair the
automatic dimming function or put it out of operation.

If you switch off the automatic dimming interior rear-view mirror, also the exterior
mirror dimming is switched off.
