Mirrors
Outside mirrors
The outer sections of the mirrors depict a larger
field of view
*
than the inner sections. In this
way, the view to the rear is extended and the
blind spot, as it is known, is reduced in size.
The objects seen in the mirrors are closer
than they appear. Do not gauge your dis-
tance from following traffic based on what you
see in the mirrors, otherwise there is an
increased risk of accident.

Adjusting manually
The mirrors can also be adjusted manually: by
pressing the mirror glass at its edges.
Folding mirrors in and out*
At speeds up to approx. 20 km/h, approx.
12 mph, you can fold the mirrors in and back out
again by pressing button
3
. This can be useful
for example in car washes or narrow roads, or
for folding the mirrors back out into the correct
position after they have been folded in manu-
ally.
If the mirrors have been folded in, they are
folded out again when a speed of approx.
40 km/h, approx. 25 mph, is reached.
Before putting the car through a car wash,
fold the mirrors in either manually or by
pressing button
3
, otherwise they could sustain
damage on account of the car's width.
