Understanding the Vehicle
Press the mirror control switch
corresponding to the arrow
indicating the direction of the desired
movement.
For optimal vision orientate the
outside(s) mirror(s) in order to frame
the adjacent lane adjacent and get a
partial overlap with the visible image
on the inside rear-view mirror.
Power mirror preselected positions can
be reset by operating the optional
memory driver seat device. Check
"Memorize the Driver's Seat Position"
in this section for further information.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the
external side convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on your
passenger side convex mirror could
cause you to collide with another
vehicle or object. Use the inside
mirror to judge the size or distance
of a vehicle seen in the external side
convex mirror.
Tilt Side Mirrors in Reverse
This function provides automatic
external rear-view mirrors positioning,
allowing the driver to view the ground
area behind the front doors.
The external mirrors will move slightly
downward from the current position
when the shift lever is shifted into
reverse. The external mirrors will
then return to the original position
when the lever is shifted out of the
reverse position. Each memory set of
the driver's seat (see "Memorize the
Driver's Seat Position" chapter in this
section) corresponds to a mirrors tilt
position in reverse.
NOTE:
The mirrors tilt in reverse can be
turned on and off using the MIA
system, refer to "Functions of Settings
Menu on MIA" in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls".
Folding Mirrors
By selecting this function on MIA the
rear-view mirrors automatically fold
when the vehicle is locked by the key
fob and when the power boot lid (if
equipped) is closed and locked by
pressing the
button on the right
lower parts of the lid.
When the vehicle and the boot lid will
be unlocked and the ignition device is
set on
ACC or RUN position, the rear-
view mirrors will automatically open in
the position they had before the lock.
The switch for the power folding
mirrors is located between the power
mirror switches.
Press the switch once and the mirrors
will fold in; press the switch a second
time to reset the mirrors to the
standard position.
There is a way to make external
mirrors automatically fold/unfold.
• If the function is available, it needs
to be activated by MIA (refer to
"Functions of Settings Menu on MIA"
