Mirrors
67WARNINGExterior mirrors increase the field of view, however, they make objects ap-
pear smaller and further away. Therefore, use the interior mirror whenever
possible, for assessing the distances to the vehicles following behind.WARNING■ The mirrors with automatic dimming contain electrolyte fluid which may
leak if the mirror glass is broken - this can irritate skin, eyes and the respi-
ratory system.■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. If
necessary get medical assistance.

WARNING■ Attach external devices (e.g. navigation system) not in the vicinity of the
mirror with automatic dimming . The illuminated display of an external de-
vice can affect the function of the rear-view mirror -There is a risk of an ac-
cident.■
Automatic mirror dimming only operates correctly if the light striking the
sensor is not affected by other objects. The sensors are located on the
front and back of the mirror.
