dr iver's outside mirror © or the ignition is sw itched off.
If t he position of t he mir ro r su rface is changed on a ti lted mirror, this
new position will be automatically assig ned to the remote key when
the vehicle is taken out of reverse gear.
0 Note
Curved mirror su rfaces (convex or spherica l*) increase your fie ld of
view. Remembe r th at veh icles o r o the r object s will appear sm alle r
and fart her away than when seen in a flat m irro r. If you use this
m irror to est ima te dis tanc es o f following vehicles when cha nging
lanes, you cou ld estimate incorrect ly and cause an accident .
[I] Tips
If there should be a malfu nction in the electrical system, you can st ill
a djus t the ou ts id e mir rors by pressing the edge o f the m irro r.•
A pp lies to vehicles: with aut omat ica lly adj usting outs id e m irr ors
Automatic dimming for the outside
mirrors
Th e o utside mirrors dim at the same time as the inside m irror. Whe n
the ignition is switched o n, the mirrors a utomatically dim depending
on the a mou nt of light s triki ng t he m irro rs (su ch as he adlights
shining into the veh icle from the rear) .
W hen the inter io r li ght ing is switche d on and when reverse gear is
engaged, the m irro rs a re switched back to their original brig htn ess
(not dimmed) .
& WARNING
Broken gla ss of automatic dimming mirror can cause electrolyte
fluid leakage. Electrolyte fluid can irritate skin, eyes, and respira­
tory sy stem.
• Repeated or prolonged exposure to electrolyte can cause irrita­
tion to the re spiratory system, especially among people with
asthma or other respiratory conditions . Get fresh air immediately
by leaving the vehicle or , if that is not po ssible , open window s and
doors all the way.
• If electrolyte gets into the eye s, flush them thoroughly with
large amounts of clean water fo r at least 15 minutes; medical
attention i s recommended .
• If electrolyte contacts skin , flush affected area with clean
water for at lea st 15 minute s and then wash affected area with
soap and water; medical attention is recommended. Thoroughly
wash affected clothing and shoes before reu se.
• If swallowed and person is conscious, r inse mouth with water
for at least 15 minutes . Do not induce vomiting unles s instru cted
to do so by medical professional. Get medical attent ion immedi-
ately .

0 Note
Liquid electrolyte leaked from a broken mirror g lass w ill damage any
plastic surfaces it comes in contact with. Clean up spi lled electro lyte
immediately with clear water and a sponge.
[I) Tips
• Swit ching off the dimming function of the insid e rearview
mir ror also deact ivates the automa tic dimm ing funct ion of the
e xterior mirrors.
• Automatic dimm ing for the mirror only operates properly if the
ligh t str ik ing the inside m irror is not h indered by o ther objects. •

Calibrating the compass
The compass has to be recalibrated if the display is wrong
or inaccurate.
- Hold the@ button down until the letter C is displayed on
the interior rear view mirror.
- Drive in a circle at a speed of about 5 mph (10 km/h) until a direction is shown on the interior rear view mirror.
& WARNING
The digital compass is to be used as a directional aid only. Even
though you may want to look at it while you are driving, you must
still pay attention to traffic, road and weather conditions as well
as other possible hazards. •

Deactivating
- Pre ss th e b utton again . Th e ind icator light on the button

The system works at speeds faster than 19 mph (30 km/h) .
& WARNING
• Improper reliance on the side assist system can cause collisions
and seriou s per sonal injury:
- Never rely only on side assist when changing lanes.
- Alway s check rear view mirrors to make sure that it is safe to
change lanes.
• Side assist cannot detect all vehicles under all condition s­
danger of accident!
• Side a ssist cannot detect vehicle s
in time to alert you when
they approach from behind at very high speed , or fall drop bac;k
very quickly .
• The radar sensor's
vision can be reduced o r entirely blocked by
rain, snow, and heavy spray . Thi s can result in side a ssist not
adequately detecting vehicles o r, in some cases , not detecting
them at all. Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle.
• Plea se note that side assi st indi cates there are approaching
veh icles, or vehicles in your blind spot, only after your vehicle has
reached a driving speed of at lea st 19 mph (30 km/h).
• Side assist signal does not work around tight corners (turning
radius le ss than 328 feet or 100 m).
• Side assist is no replacement for the driver's full attention. The
driver alone is respon sible for lane changes and similar driving
maneuvers. Always keep an eye on the direction you are traveling
and the relevant area around the vehicle .

• T
o ens ure t hat you do not adve rsely affec t side assist, do not blo ck
the area on the rear bumper where the radar sensors are located with
foreign obje cts (s uch as stickers or bicy cle ra cks).
• Make s ure that the s ignal light on the outside mirror is not

lffll.___A_ u_ d_i_ s_ id_ e_ a_s _s_ i_ s _t _________________________________________________ _
The detection~ page 13 7, fig . 141 of the radar sensor detection
area is made up of:
• the approach area (light green area)
(D, about 230 feet (70 m)
behind the vehicle, and
• the "blind spot" (dark green area)@.
The radar sensors cover the adjacent left and right lanes. Other lanes
are
not covered by the radar sensors .
rn Tips
Side assist does not measure actual lane width. The system assumes
a fixed lane width. Detection in the left and right lanes is based on
this assumed lane width. When driving on narrow roads or when
driving to the left or right of the center of a travel lane, it is possible
that vehicles will be detected that are
not in the lane next to the lane
you are using~
page 142. •
Applie s to vehic les: w ith s ide a ssist
Operation
Side assist compares the distance and difference in speed of detected
vehicles with the speed of your vehicle . Whenever the difference in
speed and distance is registered as notab le if you were to change
lanes , a signa l light appears on the respective mirror .
The signal can light up if you are passed by a vehicle or if you are
passing another vehicle .
If you pass another vehicle slowly (difference in speed less than 9
mph, or 15 km/h), the signa l light will come on as soon as the other
vehicle is in your blind spot and is detected by side ass ist. When the
difference in speed is greater, the signal light will not come on. •
Appli es to vehicles : with si de assist
Informational and alert stage signals
Side ass ist has two signal stages:
• the informational stage signal, and
• the alert stage signal.
Side assist helps you by using the appropr iate signal stage,
depending on whether or not you have activated the turn signal, and
thus have indicated that you are or are not changing lanes.
Informational stage signal
As long as you have not activated the turn signal, s ide assist informs
you of detected vehicles that are reg istered as being in a notable loca ­
tion if you were to change lanes . Whenever the detected vehicle's
difference in speed and distance is registered by side assist as
notable , the signal light on the respective mirror produces muted
illumination.
Th e brightness of the informat ional stage signal is designed not to be
as intense, so that it does not interfere with your view of the road
when you are driving and have no intention of changing lanes. When
you look in the outs ide mirror, you can clearly see the informational
stage signal.
Alert stage signal
When you act ivate the turn s ignal , and side assist has detected a
vehicle in a notable location on that particular side , the signal light on
this side mirror flashes brightly. The repeated brief and bright
flashing of the alert stage signal reminds you to carefully check
traffic to the rear in the outside mirror and over your shoulder, so that
you can safely complete the lane change~
& in "Safety tips" on
page 143.
rn Tips
The brightness of the signa l light on the outside mirrors can be
adjusted with the MMI
