ELECTRIC EXTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRRORS
Features
The end of the glass in the exte-rior rear view mirrors is aspherical, s o a s t o e n l a r g e t h e l a t e r a l fi e l d o f vision.
Objects observed in the aspheri-cal part of the rear view mirrors are in reality closer than they appear.
You must take this into account in order to be properly aware of the distances involved.
Adjustment of the rear view mirrors
This can operate when the ignition is switched on.
The driver selects the rear view mirror by moving control 1, to the left or to the right, then adjusts the mirror in the four directions by acting on con-trol 2.
Demisting-deicing of the rear view mirrors is linked with that fo r the rear screen.
The adjustments you have made to the rear view mirrors are included in the memorisation of driving positions. See “Memorisation”.
Fold-back of door mirrors
When the vehicle is parked, the door mirrors can be folded back either man-ually or electrically.
Electric fold-back
From the central position, one press towards the rear on control 1 folds the rear view mirrors back.
To return them to the initial position, press again on control 1 towards the rear.
Automatic fold-back
Automatic fold-back operates when you lock the doors.

Maintenance intervals
If you use your vehicle in par- t i c u l a r l y d i f fi c u l t c o n d i t i o n s , it is essential to have recourse to the service schedule for “special con-ditions” comprising shorter inter-vals between services. See “Main-tenance Guide”.
Reset to zero
Your CITROËN technician resets the indicator to zero after each service. However, if you do your own servicing, the procedure for resetting to zero is as follows:1. Switch off the ignition.2. Press on button A and keep it pressed.3. Switch on the ignition.4. Keep button A pressed down until the screen indicates “=0” and the maintenance symbol disappears.
Note: If the maximum time between two oil changes is reached before the mileage has been covered, the mainte-nance spanner lights up and the i n s t r u m e n t p a n e l i n d i c a t e s “0 i n s t r u m e n t p a n e l i n d i c a t e s “ i n s t r u m e n t p a n e l i n d i c a t e s “ ” .

When the driver's door is opened or the vehicle is unlocked with the remote control, for around 30 sec-onds there is display of the mile-age recorders and sometimes the maintenance spanner.
