WARNING

The exterior mirrors reduce the size of the

image. Objects are actually closer than they

appear. You could misjudge the distance from

vehicles driving behind and cause an

accident, e.g. when changing lane. For this

reason, make sure of the actual distance from

the vehicle driving behind by glancing over

your shoulder.

The convex exterior mirrors provide a larger

field of vision.
The exterior mirrors are automatically heated

after starting the vehicle if the rear window

defroster is switched on and the outside

temperature is low. Mirror heating lasts up to

10 minutes.

i

You can also heat up the exterior mirrors

manually by switching on the rear window

defroster.
