Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors

Applies to: vehicles with automatic anti-dazzle mirrors

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!

►

The interior and exterior mirrors will darken

when bright light (e.g. from the headlights of a

following vehicle) shines on the surface of the

interior mirror.

WARNING

Applies to: vehicles with automatic anti-dazzle mirrors

CAUTION

Electrolyte fluid can leak from a broken auto-

matic anti-dazzle mirror. This fluid can cause

irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory or-

gans. Wash thoroughly with clean water

should you come into contact with this fluid.

Seek medical assistance if necessary.

– 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.

CAUTION

Applies to: vehicles with automatic anti-dazzle mirrors

Electrolyte fluid can leak from a broken auto-

matic anti-dazzle mirror. This fluid can dam-

age plastic surfaces and paintwork. Use a wet

sponge or similar to remove the fluid as soon

as possible.

– Applies to vehicles without electrically re-

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.

Note

– Before washing the vehicle in an automatic

car wash, please make sure to retract the

exterior mirrors to prevent them from being

damaged. Electrically retractable exterior

mirrors* must NOT be folded in or out by

hand. Always use the electrical power con-

trol.

Applies to: vehicles with automatic anti-dazzle mirrors

– The automatic anti-dazzle mirrors may not

function as intended if the light falling on

the surface of the interior mirror is obstruc-

ted.

– The automatic anti-dazzle mirrors do not

darken if the interior lighting is on or the car

is in reverse gear.

Note

If the electrical adjustment should fail to op-

erate, both of the mirrors can be adjusted by

hand by lightly pressing the edge of the mir-

ror glass.
