WARNING
● Convex (wide-angle) rear vision mirrors give a larger field of vision.
However, they make objects appear smaller and further away than they
really are. For this reason, you should not rely on these rear vision mir-
rors for judging the distance of vehicle behind.
● If possible, use the interior rear vision mirror to estimate distances to
vehicles behind you.
Note
● Exterior mirrors are only heated when the engine is running.
● Do not touch the exterior mirrors when the heating system is running.
● If the electrical adjustment should ever fail to operate, the rear vision
mirrors can be adjusted by hand by pressing the edge of the mirror glass.
● Visit the technical service in the event of a fault in the electrical rear vi-
sion mirror adjustment system.
