Exterior rear view mirrors

i

If the current position for the steering
wheel is in the uppermost tilt position,
the steering wheel will no longer be
able to move upward when the
easy-entry/exit feature is activated.

Repositioning of the steering wheel:

ț

will be halted briefly when you start
the vehicle.

ț

will stop if you start the vehicle and
set off immediately.

Warning!

G

Let the system complete the adjustment

procedure before setting the vehicle in

motion. All steering wheel adjustment must

be completed before setting the vehicle in

motion. Driving off with the steering wheel

still adjusting could cause the driver to lose

control of the vehicle.

Warning!

G

In case of an accident, liquid electrolyte may

escape the mirror housing if the mirror glass

breaks.

Electrolyte has an irritating effect. Do not

allow the liquid to come into contact with

eyes, skin, clothing, or respiratory system.

In case it does, immediately flush affected

area with water, and seek medical help if

necessary.

!

Electrolyte drops coming into contact
with the vehicle paint finish can only be
completely removed while in their
liquid state and by applying plenty of
water.

Warning!

G

Exercise care when using the passen-

ger-side exterior rear view mirror. The mirror

surface is convex (outwardly curved surface

for a wider field of view). Objects in mirror

are closer than they appear. Check your

interior rear view mirror or glance over your

shoulder before changing lanes.
