WARNING
A failure to accurately estimate the distance
to vehicles driving behind can lead to serious
accidents and injuries.
•
Curved (convex or aspherical) mirrors in-
crease the field of view and objects in them
appear smaller and further away.
•
Curved mirrors do not allow you to pre-
cisely calculate the distance to vehicles driv-
ing behind, so using them when changing
lanes could cause serious accidents and inju-
ries.
•
If possible, use the interior mirror to pre-
cisely calculate the distance to vehicles driv-
ing behind you, or to other objects.
•
Always make sure you have sufficient visi-
bility to the rear.
WARNING
The automatic anti-dazzle mirrors contain an
electrolyte fluid which could leak if the mir-
ror is broken.
•
If it gets out, the electrolyte fluid can
irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory or-
gans, particularly in the case of people with
asthma or similar diseases. Immediately in-
hale enough fresh air and get out of the vehi-
cle, or open all windows and doors if this is
not possible.
•
If the electrolytic fluid comes into contact
with your eyes or skin, immediately rinse the
affected area with plenty of water for at least
15 minutes and seek medical advice.
•
If the fluid comes into contact with foot-
wear or clothing, rinse immediately with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Clean
thoroughly before using the footwear or
clothing in question again.
•
If the electrolytic fluid is swallowed, imme-
diately rinse the mouth with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Do not induce vomit-
ing unless advised by a doctor. Immediately
seek medical attention.
NOTICE
Electrolyte fluid may leak if the automatic
anti-dazzle mirror is broken. This liquid at-
tacks plastic surfaces. Therefore, it should
be cleaned as fast as possible with a damp
sponge or similar.
Interior mirror
Rear view mirror with automatic anti-dazzle
function
When the ignition is switched on, the sensors
in the mirror measure the light falling on it from
behind and in front.
The interior mirror automatically darkens
based on the measured values.
If the light falling onto the sensors is blocked or
interrupted, e.g. by a sunshade blind or hang-
ing objects, the automatic anti-dazzle interior
mirror does not work or does not work prop-
erly. Similarly, the use of portable navigation
devices attached to the windscreen or close to
the automatic anti-dazzle interior mirror can
affect the operation of the sensors
.
The automatic anti-dazzle function is deacti-
vated in certain situations, e.g. when reverse
gear is engaged.
WARNING
Light from screens of portable navigation
devices can cause malfunctions of the au-
tomatic anti-dazzle interior mirror and may
cause serious accidents and injuries.
•
Abnormal operation of the automatic anti-
dazzle function may result in it being impos-
sible to use the interior mirror to precisely
calculate the distance to vehicles driving be-
hind, or to other objects.
