*
The rear-view mirror and the exterior mirror
on the driver's side automatically go into anti-

incident light from headlamps strikes the sen-
sor in the rear-view mirror.
The mirrors do not go into anti-dazzle mode if
reverse gear is engaged and the interior light-
ing is switched on. G
Risk of accident
If the incident light from headlamps canno t
strike the sensor in the rear-view mirror, for
instance when the rear window blind* is
extended, the mirrors' automatic anti-daz-
zle function will not operate.
Incident light could then dazzle you. This
may prevent you from observing the traffic
conditions, thereby causing an accident. In
this case, adjust the rear-view mirror man-
ually. G
Risk of injury
Electrolyte may escape if the glass in an
automatic anti-dazzle mirror breaks.
Electrolyte is an aggressive irritant and
must not be allowed to come into contact
with your skin, eyes or respiratory organs . If electrolyte comes into contact with your
eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with clean
water immediately. Consult a doctor if nec-
essary.
! If electrolyte comes into contact with the
vehicle paintwork, immediately rinse off
the undried liquid completely with clean
water. It will otherwise result in damage to
the paintwork . Parking aid*
The exterior mirror on the front-passenger
side moves into the parking position as soon
as you engage reverse gear. Controls
