Exterior mirrors

Convex shape

The convex exterior mirror contains
an aspherical area and reduces blind
spots. The shape of the mirror makes
objects appear smaller, which will
affect the ability to estimate
distances.

Electric adjustment

Select the relevant exterior mirror by
turning the control to left (L) or right
(R). Then swivel the control to adjust
the mirror.
Keys, doors and windows
In position 0 no mirror is selected.
Folding
For pedestrian safety, the exterior
mirrors will swing out of their normal
mounting position if they are struck
with sufficient force. Reposition the
mirror by applying slight pressure to
the mirror housing.
