WARNING

• The rear view convex or aspheric mirror increase the field of vision however the objects appear smaller and further away in the mirrors. If you use these mirrors to estimate the distance to vehicles behind you when changing lane, you could make a mistake. Risk of accident.
• If possible, use the interior mirror to estimate distances to vehicles behind you.
• Make sure that you do not get your finger trapped between the mirror and the mirror base when folding back the mirrors. Risk of injury!

For the sake of the environment
The exterior mirror heating should be switched off when it is no longer needed. Fuel is wasted otherwise.

Note
• If the electrical adjustment ever fails to operate, the mirrors can be adjusted by hand by lightly pressing the edge of the mirror glass.
• The following guideline applies to vehicles with electric exterior mirrors: If the mirror housing is moved as a result of exterior force (e.g. knocked when parking the vehicle), the mirrors must be folded in electrically to the final position. Do not readjust the mirror housing by hand, as this will interfere with the mirror adjuster function.
• The rear view mirrors can be adjusted separately or simultaneously, as described before.
