outside forces (such as an impact when ma­
neuvering), you must use the power folding
funct ion to fold the mir ror all the way out.
You will hear a loud noise when the mirrors
are latched back in place. The mirror hous­
i ng must not be moved back into place by
hand because th is would impair the func­
tion of the mirror mechanism.
-Applies to vehicles without power fold ing
exterior mirrors: if the mirror housing was moved by outside forces (such as in impact
during maneuve ring), you must move the
mirror ho us ing ba ck into p lace by hand.
- If you wash the veh icle in an automatic car
wash, you m ust fold the exterior m irrors in
to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors .
Never fold power folding exterior mirrors*
by hand. Only fo ld them in and out using
the power controls.
@ Tips
If the power adjustment fails, both mirrors
can be adjusted by hand by pressing on the
edge of the mirror surface.
Dimming the mirrors

them thoroughly with a large amount of
clean water for at least 15 m inutes and then
seek med ica l attention .
- If electroly te f lu id comes into contac t with
the skin, flush the affected area with clean
water for at least 15 minutes and then clean
