Risk of accident
The exterior mirrors reduce the size of the
image. Objects are actually close rthan
they appear. You coul dmisjudge the dis-
tance from vehicles driving behind and
cause an accident, e.g. whe nchanging
lane. For this reason, make sure of the
actua ldistance from the vehicle driving
behind by glancing over you rshoulder.
The convex exterior mirrors give alarger field
of vision.
At low outside temperatures, the exterior mir-
rors are heated automatically. Adjusting the exterior mirrors 1

The rear-view mirror and the exterior mirror
on the driver's side automatically go into anti-
dazzle mode if the ignition is switched on and
incident light from headlamps strikes the sen-
sor in the rear-view mirror.
The mirrors do not go into anti-dazzle mode if
reverse gea risengaged or the interior lighting
is switched on. G
Risk of accident
If incident light from the headlamps of other
vehicles is prevented from striking the sen-
sor in the rear-view mirror, for instance if
the draught stop is fitted, the mirror's auto-
matic anti-dazzle function wil lnot operate.
Incident light coul dthen dazzle you .This
may distract you from the traffic conditions,
and you may thereby cause an accident. In
this case, adjust the rear-view mirror man-
ually. Passengers
