Manual adjustment
You can also adjust the mirrors manually by
pressing against the outer edges of their mirror
glass.
Folding mirrors in and out*
Pressing button 3 allows you to fold mirrors
in and out up to a speed of approx. 20 mph/
30 km/h. This is advantageous, for example, in
car washes, narrow streets or for bringing mir-
rors that have been manually folded-in back into
the correct position. Folded-in mirrors automat-
ically fold down at a speed of approx. 25 mph/
40 km/h.
Before going through a car wash, fold the
mirrors inward manually, or with button
3 ,
otherwise they could be damaged, depending
on the width of the car wash system.
