Lights and vision
The vehicle stores the user’s last settings. When
you select reverse gear, an LED next to the sym-
bol for the mirror on the control panel will flash
to indicate that the automatic lowering function
is activated.
Adjusting the display brightness
You can adjust the brightness of the instrument
cluster and the displays in the Car menu
ðpage 26.
The mirror returns to its original position:
Clear vision
– If you switch the vehicle off.
Adjusting the exterior mirrors
– If you drive forwards faster than 15 km/h.
– If you switch the automatic lowering function
off by pressing the button again.
WARNING
Convex or wide-angle exterior mirrors give a
larger field of vision. However, they make ob-
jects look smaller and further away than they
really are. If you use these mirrors to estimate
the distance to vehicles behind you when
changing lane, you could misjudge the dis-
tance. Risk of accident!

CAUTION
/ – To select the exterior mirror (left or right
side). To adjust the mirror, press on the control
panel 1 in the desired direction.
– Applies to vehicles with electrically retracta-
ble exterior mirrors: If one of the mirror
housings is knocked out of position (e.g.
when parking), the mirrors must be fully re-
tracted with the electric control. You will
hear a loud noise when the mirrors snap
back into place. Do not readjust the mirror
housing by hand, as this will interfere with
the mirror adjuster function.

mirrors back out, press again. One of the cen-
tre display settings allows you to control whether
or not the mirrors are folded in automatically
when you lock the vehicle.

tractable exterior mirrors: If one of the mir-
ror housings is knocked out of position (e.g.
when parking), it must be returned to its
proper position by hand.
If the electrical adjustment should fail to oper-
ate, both of the mirrors can be adjusted by hand
by lightly pressing the edge of the mirror glass.

car wash, please make sure to retract the
exterior mirrors to prevent them from being
damaged. Do not fold electrically retracta-
ble exterior mirrors in or out by hand! Al-
