dent.
For this reason, always make sure of the
actual distance from the road users traveling
behind by glancing over your shoulder.
The convex exterior mirrors provide a larger
field of vision.
The exterior mirrors are automatically heated
after starting the vehicle if the rear window
defroster is switched on and the outside tem- perature is low. Heating takes a maximum of
