2016 AUDI Q5 mirror controls

Lights and Vision
The mirror returns to its initial position as soon
as reverse gear is disengaged and vehicle 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 exterior mirror© or the ig­
nition is switched off .
If the position of the mirror surface is changed
on a tilted mirror, this new position will be auto ­
matically assigned to the remote key when the
vehicle is taken out of reverse gear .
(D Note
- Curved mirror surfaces (convex or spheri­ cal*) increase 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 mirror to esti­
mate distances of following vehicles when
changing lanes, you could estimate incor­ rectly and cause an accident.
- If the mirror housing is moved unintention­
ally (for example, while parking your vehi­
cle), then you must first fold the mirror
electrically. Do not readjust the mirror
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 exterior mirrors in to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors.
Never fold power folding exterior mirrors*
by hand . Only fold them in and out using
the power controls.
(D Tips
If there should be a malfunction in the elec­
trical system, you can still adjust the exterior
mirrors by pressing the edge of the mirror.
