Adjusting the exterior mirrors
WARNING
Exercise care when using the passenger-side
exterior rear view mirror. The mirror surface
is convex (outwardly curved surface for a
wider field of view). Objects in mirror are
closer than they appear. Check your interior
rear view mirror and glance over your
shoulder before changing lanes.
The exterior mirrors are automatically heated if the rear window defroster is switched on and the outside temperature is low.
•► Make sure that the SmartKey is in position 1 or 2 in the ignition lock.
•► Press button 1 for the left-hand exterior mirror or button 2 for the right-hand exterior mirror.
The indicator lamp in the corresponding button lights up in red.
The indicator lamp goes out again after some time. You can adjust the selected mirror using adjustment button 3 as long as the indicator lamp is lit.
•► Press adjustment button 3 up, down, to the right or to the left until the exterior mirror is set to a position that provides you with a good overview of traffic conditions.
Folding the exterior mirrors in or out electrically
This function is only available in vehicles for Canada.
•► Make sure that the SmartKey is in position 1 or 2 in the ignition lock.
•► Briefly press button 1.
Both exterior mirrors fold in or out.
Make sure that the exterior mirrors are always folded out fully while the vehicle is in motion, as they may otherwise vibrate.
If you are driving faster than 9 mph (15 km/h), you can no longer fold in the exterior mirrors.
Setting the exterior mirrors
This function is only available in vehicles for Canada.
If the battery has been disconnected or completely discharged, the exterior mirrors must be reset. The exterior mirrors will otherwise not fold in when you select the "Fold in mirrors when locking" function in the on-board computer.
•► Make sure that the SmartKey is in
position 1 in the ignition lock.
•► Briefly press button 1.
Folding the exterior mirrors in or out automatically
This function is only available in vehicles for Canada.
If the "Fold in mirrors when locking" function is activated in the on-board computer
- the exterior mirrors fold in automatically as
soon as you lock the vehicle from the
outside.
- the exterior mirrors fold out again
automatically as soon as you unlock the
vehicle and then open the driver's or frontpassenger
door.
The mirrors do not fold out if they have been folded in manually.
Exterior mirror out of position
If an exterior mirror has been pushed out of position, proceed as follows:
•► Vehicles without electrically folding
exterior mirrors: move the exterior mirror
into the correct position manually.
•► Vehicles with electronically folding
mirrors: press the mirror-folding button repeatedly until you hear the
mirror engage in position.
The mirror housing is engaged again and you can adjust the exterior mirrors as usual
Automatic anti-glare mirrors
WARNING
If incident light from headlamps is prevented
from striking the sensor in the rear-view
mirror, for instance, by luggage piled too high
in the vehicle, the mirror's automatic antiglare
function will not operate.
Incident light could then blind you. This may distract you from the traffic conditions and, as a result, you may cause an accident.
The rear-view mirror and the exterior mirror on the driver's side automatically go into antiglare mode if the ignition is switched on and incident light from headlamps strikes the sensor in the rear-view mirror.
The mirrors do not go into anti-glare mode if reverse gear is engaged or the interior lighting is switched on.
