Adjusting the exterior mirrors

WARNING

You could lose control of the vehicle while

driving if you:

adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel or

mirrors

fasten the seat belt

The convex exterior mirrors provide a larger

field of vision.

There is a risk of an accident.

Adjust the driver's seat, head restraint, steer-

ing wheel and mirrors and fasten your seat

belt before starting the engine.

After the engine has been started, the exte-

rior mirrors are automatically heated at low

outside temperatures. Heating takes a maxi-

mum of ten minutes.

WARNING

i The exterior mirrors can also be heated

manually by switching on the rear window

heating.

The exterior mirrors reduce the size of the

image. Objects visible in the mirrors are

closer than they appear. You could misjudge

the distance from road users driving behind

you when changing lanes, for instance. There

is a risk of an accident.

You should therefore always look over your

shoulder to determine the actual distance

from road users driving behind you.
