Adjusting exterior mirrors
.,. Rotate the knob to the© posit ion (driver's
exterio r mirror) or to the ® position (pas­
senger's exterior mir ror)
9 fig. 70.
.,. Rotate the knob and the mirror so that you
have a clear view to the rear.
Heated mirrors
.,. Rotate the knob to pos it ion @.
Folding both exterior mi rrors flat*
.,. Rotate the knob to position @.
Depending on the outside temperature, the
mirror surfaces are heated until the ignition is
switched off -even if the knob is no longer in
position @.
You are well-advised to fold the exterior m ir ­
rors in when maneuvering in tight spaces or
when leaving the car parked close to other
vehicles .
Memory setting for the exterior mirrors*
When the seat position is saved in the memo ­
ry, the position of the exterior mirrors is saved
at the same time
9 page 73.
If the position of the passenger mirror is
changed when the vehicle is in reverse gear
and the switch is in the ® position, this new
tilted position will be automat ically saved to
the remote key when the vehicle is taken out
of reverse gear. To save, the rotary knob for
mirror adjustment must be in the ® position, the selector lever must
be in the P pos ition
and the ignition must be off. This will now be­
come the stored setting when the vehicle is
put in reverse gear again.
Tilt ing the passenger's side exterior
mirror (only with seat memory)
When you move the selector lever into R (Re­
verse), the mirror on the front passenger's door (knob turned to® ¢
fig. 70) will tilt
s light ly downward . This make is easier for you
to see the curb when you are backing into a
parking space .
The mirror returns to its initial position as
soon as reverse gear is d isengaged and veh icle
speed is above about 9 mph (15 km/h). The
mirror also returns to its initial position if the
switch is moved to the driver's ex ter ior mirror
© or the ignition is switched off .
(D Note
-Curved (i .e . convex) mirror surfaces in­
crease your field of view. Remember that
vehicles or other objects will appear
smaller and farther away than when
seen in a flat mirror. If you use this mir ­
ror to estimate distances of following
vehicles when changing lanes, you could estimate incorrectly and cause an acci­
dent.
- If the mirror housing is moved uninten­
tionally (for example, while parking your
vehicle), then you must first fold the mir­
ror electrically. Do not readjust the mir­
ror housing manually. You could damage
the motor which controls the mirror.
-If you wash the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, you must fold the exter ior mir­
rors in to reduce the risk of damage to
the mirrors. Never fold power folding ex­
terior mirrors* by hand. Only fold them
in and out using the power controls.
(D Tips
If there should be a malfunction in the
electr ical system, you can still adjust the
exterior mirrors by pressing the edge of
the mirror .
