Rear-view mirrors
The external rear-view mirror position,
both for the normal driving direction
and for reversing, is automatically
memorized together with each seat
position. To memorize a new position
of the external rear-view mirrors, turn
the ignition key to the MAR (ON)
position and adjust the position of the
mirrors; then engage the reverse gear
and reposition the external passenger
side mirror to ensure the best possible
visibility for maneuvering, then
disengage the reverse gear.
Finally, press one of the buttons “1”,
“2” or “3” on the seat, each one
corresponding to a memorized
position, until a beep confirms the
procedure is complete.
The new position of the external rear-
view mirrors will be automatically
memorized together with the seat
position. The side rear view mirrors feature
different curvatures; the left-hand
mirror is flat, while the right-hand one
is convex.
Pay particular attention as
objects viewed in the right-
hand mirror are closer than
they appear.
WARNING: Never retract or open the
mirrors by hand to avoid damaging the
powering mechanism.
The mirrors must always be in
the open position when the
vehicle is moving.
Electrochromic internal rear-
view mirror
This can can be manually adjusted, and
is fitted with an accident-prevention
release system in the event of a
collision.
The electrochromic rear view mirror
automatically operates an anti-dazzle
function by gradually shading as the
light shining on the mirror increases.
This function is automatically
deactivated in reverse to ensure
maximum visibility of obstacles.
