The mirror returns to its initial position as soon
as reverse gear is dis e ngaged and vehicle speed is
above about 9 mph (15 km/h) . T he mirror also
returns to its ini tial posit ion if the switch is
moved to the driver's exter ior mirror © or the ig­
n ition is switched off .
If the position of the m irror surface is changed
on a ti lted 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 v iew . Remember
that vehicles or other objects will appear
smaller and farther away than when seen in
a flat mirror . If you use th is m irror to esti­
ma te distances of following vehicles when
changing lanes, yo u could estimate incor­
rectly and cause an a ccident.
- If the mir ror housing is moved unin tention­
ally (for example, wh ile pa rking yo ur vehi­
cle), then you must first fold the m irror
electrica lly. Do not read just the mirror
hous ing manua lly. You could damage the
motor which contro ls the mirror.
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, yo u m ust fold the exterior m irrors in
to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors. Never fold power folding exterior m irrors*
by hand . Only fold them in and out using
the power contro ls .
@ Tips
If there should be a ma lfunction in the e lec­
trical system, you can still adjust the exterior m irro rs by p ressing the edge of the m irror .
