Recalling the “parking” position
of the external rear view mirror
on passenger side
To automatically recall the “park-
ing” position of the external passen-
ger rear view mirror, proceed as fol-
lows:
– with the car stopped and the igni-
tion key at MAR, engage the reverse
gear; the mirror will be automatical-
ly brought back to the previously
stored position .
If no “parking” position has been
stored, when engaging reverse the
passenger mirror slightly lowers
than normally to a preset position to
facilitate the driver during parking.
The rear view mirror will automat-
ically return to its initial position
after about 10 seconds from reverse
gear disengagement, or immediately
after exceeding a speed of 10 km/h
with forward gear. IMPORTANTThe “parking” posi-
tion memorisation and recall can
only be performed with ignition key
at MAR.
Automatic realignment
of external rear view mirrors
Every time the ignition key is
turned to MAR, the external rear
view mirrors automatically return to
the latest position reached and/or
recalled before removing the key.
This enables rear view mirror
alignment if, when the car is parked,
one of the rear view mirror has been
manually and/or accidentally
moved.COMFORT SEATS (fig. 47)

lation, massage and the adaptive
