Heated mirrors
The mirrors are heated (depending on the outside temperature) when the
heated rear window ⇒
page 126 is switched on.
The exterior mirror heating is not activated in temperatures above approxi-
mately 20°C.
Memory for exterior mirrors*
In vehicles with memory function for the driver seat, the setting of the exterior
mirrors is automatically stored together with the seat position ⇒page 138.
Tilting function for exterior mirror on the passenger side* (only if equipped
with memory for exterior mirrors)
When reverse gear is engaged, the mirror surface tilts slightly downwards,
provided the mirror control is switched to the exterior mirror on the passenger
side (knob in position ⇒ page 132, fig. 104). This provides a better view
of the kerb when parking.
The mirror returns to its original position as soon as reverse gear is disen-
gaged and the vehicle is driven forwards at a speed above 15 km/h, or when
the mirror control is turned to position or to the neutral position .
Caution
•Rear view convex or aspheric* mirrors increase the field of vision,
although objects appear smaller and further away in the mirrors. Therefore,
you should not rely on these mirrors for judging the distance of vehicles
behind.•If one of the mirror housings is knocked out of position (e.g. when
parking), the mirrors must first be fully retracted with the electric control. Do
not readjust the mirror housing by hand, as this will interfere with the mirror
adjuster function.
Note
If the electrical adjustment ever fails to operate, the mirrors can be adjusted
by hand by lightly pressing the edge of the mirror glass.
