Electrically adjustable mirrors fig. 41
The electrical adjustment can only be carried out with
the ignition key in the MAR-ON position.
REAR VIEW MIRRORS
REAR-VIEW MIRROR fig. 40
The mirror is fitted with a safety device that causes its
release in the event of a violent impact with the
passenger.
Lever A can be used to move the mirror to two
different positions: normal or antiglare.
DOOR MIRRORS
Mirrors with manual adjustment
To adjust the mirrors, manually adjust each of the two
glasses of each mirror.
As the driver’s exterior mirror is curved,
it may slightly alter the perception of
distance of the reflected image.
Further, the reflective surface of the lower part
of the exterior mirrors is parabolic to increase
the field of view. The reflected image size is thus
reduced and gives the impression that the
reflected item is further away than it actually is.
