Lights and vision
A WARNING
Convex or wide-angle* exterior mirrors give a
larger field of
vision.
However, they make ob
jects look smaller and further away than they
really are. If
you
use these mirrors to
esti
mate the distance to vehicles behind you
when changing Lane, you could misjudge the
distance. Risk of accident!
CAUTION
- Applies to vehicles with electrically retracta
ble exterior mirrors: If one of the mirror
housings is knocked out of position (e.g.
when parking), the mirrors must be fully re
tracted with the electric control. You will
hear
a
loud noise when the mirrors snap
back into place. Do not readjust the mirror
housing by hand, as this will interfere with
the mirror adjuster function.
- Applies to vehicles without electrically re
tractable exterior mirrors: If one of the mir
ror housings is knocked out of position (e.g.
when parking), it must be returned to its
proper position by hand.
- Before washing the vehicle in an automatic
car wash, please make sure to retract the
exterior mirrors to prevent them from being
damaged.
Electrically retractable exterior
mirrors* must NOT be folded in or out by
hand.
Always use the electrical power
con
trol.
©
If the electrical adjustment should fail to op
erate,
both of the mirrors can be adjusted by
hand by Lightly pressing the edge of the mir
ror glass.

interior mirror.
A
WARNING
Applies to: vehicles with automatic anti-dazzle mirrors
Electrolyte fluid can leak from a broken mir
ror. This fluid can cause irritation to the

ror. This fluid can damage plastic surfaces.
Use a wet sponge or similar to remove the
flu
id as soon as possible.
(T) Note
