A WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex or spherical*)
increase your field of view. Remember that
vehicles or other objects will appear smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat mir
ror. If you use this mirror to estimate distan
ces of following vehicles when changing
lanes, you cou ld estimate incorrectly and
cause an accident.
(D Note

(for example, by running into an object
when maneuvering the vehi cle), the mirror
must be folded all the way in using the pow
er folding function. The mirror housing
must not be moved back into place by hand
because this would impair the function of
the mirror mechanism.
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must fold the exterior mirrors in
