Rear-view mirrorsThe rear-view mirror has day/night positions 
that can be selected by means of a knob 
beneath the mirror. Adjust the mirror for best 
vision in the day position and pull the tab on 
the bottom of the mirror toward you for the 
night position.
Door mirrorsThe door mirrors are electrically adjustable.
The controls are on the driver’s door. 
1 Use the upper button to select a door 
mirror. 
2 Use the touch pad to set the mirror ver-
tically and horizontally. There are raised 
points at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock posi-
tions to indicate adjustment points.
If subjected to a certain force, the whole 
mirror will fold back to prevent injury. The mirror can also be retracted by hand, 
which can be useful when parking in con-
fined spaces, e.g. on car ferries. Don’t forget 
to fold the mirrors out again before driving 
away. 
The electric heating of the door mirrors is 
switched on and off with the same button as 
the heating of the rear window. 
NOTEThe door mirrors should be retracted 
before the car is put through an automatic 
carwash.
