WARNING
Make sure that the mirror is not covered by ice, snow, mist or other ob-
■
jects.
Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of
■
vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These
mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the fol-
lowing vehicles.
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
■
the following vehicles.
WARNING
The mirrors with automatic dimming contain an electrolyte liquid which can
escape if mirror glass is broken.
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath appara-
■
tus. Immediately seek out fresh air and leave the vehicle. If this is not pos-
sible, at least open the window.
If you swallow electrolytic fluid, seek medical assistance immediately.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-
■
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water.
Then consult a doctor immediately.

Mirror with automatic dimming
If the automatic dimming is enabled, the mirror dims automatically depending
on the light falling on the sensors.
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the
mirror always moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).
Do not attach external navigation devices to the windscreen or in the vicinity
of the interior mirror » .
WARNING
The illuminated display of an external navigation unit can lead to opera-
tional faults to the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.
CAUTION
Automatic mirror dimming only operates correctly if the light striking the sen-
sor is not affected by other objects.
Note
If the automatic interior mirror dimming is switched off, the exterior mirror
dimming is also switched off.
