WARNING Risk of accident due to mis‐
judgment of distances when using the
outside mirror
The outside mirrors reflect objects on a
smaller scale. The objects in view are in fact
closer than they appear.
As a result, you may misjudge the distance
between you and the road user driving
behind you, e.g. when changing lanes.
#
Therefore, always look over your shoul‐
der in order to ensure that you are
aware of the actual distance between
you and the road users driving behind
you.

To fold in or out: briefly press button 1 .
% If the battery has been disconnected or com‐
pletely discharged, the outside mirrors must
be reset. Only then will the automatic mirror
folding function work properly.
#
To set: select the required mirror using but‐
ton 3 or 4 .
