Risk of accident
The exterior mirrors reduce the size of the
image. Objects are actually closer than they
appear. You could misjudge the distance
from vehicles driving behind and cause an
accident, e.g. when changing lane. For this
reason, make sure of the actual distance
from the vehicle driving behind by glancing
over your shoulder.
The mirrors are automatically heated
when:
I the rear window heating is switched on
