This function allows you to see the
ground (kerb, wall...) when carrying
out parking manoeuvres in reverse
gear. Objects observed in the driver

the side on which you are parking tilts
downwards.
Intentional returning of the mirror to
the driving position:

 change out of reverse gear or
deselect the mirror.
The mirror returns to the driving posi-
tion automatically if the vehicle speed
exceeds 10 mph (15 km/h), if the en-
gine is switched off or if reverse gear is
engaged for more than 20 seconds.

This automatically and gradually
changes between the day and night
positions. To prevent dazzling, the
glass of the mirror darkens automati-
cally depending on the intensity of the
light from behind. It clears as the light
(headlamps of following vehicles, sun-
light) decreases, ensuring maximum
visibility.
