The external rear-view mirror position,
both for the normal driving direction
and for reversing, is automatically
memorised together with each seat
position.
To memorise a new position of the
external rear-view mirrors, turn the
ignition key to position MAR and
adjust the position of the mirrors; then
engage the reverse gear and
reposition the passenger external
mirror to ensure the best possible
visibility for manoeuvring, then
disengage the reverse gear.
Finally, press one of the buttons "1",
"2" or "3" on the seat, each one
corresponding to a memorisable
position , until a beep confirms the
procedure is complete.
The new position of the external rear-
view mirrors will be automatically
memorised together with the seat
position.
What is more, the mirror positions can
be adjusted for both the normal
travelling direction and for reverse
manoeuvring.
WARNING: Never retract or open the
mirrors by hand to avoid damaging the
powering mechanism.
The mirrors must always be in
the open position when the
vehicle is moving.
Electrochromic external rear-
view mirrors (optional)
The particular feature of these mirrors
is that they gradually darken as the
intensity of the light to which they are
exposed increases.
Electrochromic internal rear-
view mirror
This can can be manually adjusted, and
is fitted with an accident-prevention
release system that intervenes in the
event of a collision.
The electrochromic rear view mirror
automatically operates an anti-dazzle
function by gradually shading as the
light shining on the mirror increases.
This function is automatically
deactivated in reverse to ensure
maximum visibility of obstacles.
