a few days to save power. You then have to
pull on the door handle once to unlock the
vehicle and a second time to open the vehi­

gy management system gradually switches
off unnecessary convenience functions.
It is
possible that you will not be able to unlock
your vehicle using these convenience func­
tions.

Lights and Vision
The mirror returns to its initial position as soon
as reverse gear is disengaged and vehicle speed is
above about 9 mph (15 km/h). The mirror also returns to its initial position if the switch is
moved to the driver's exterior mirror© or the ig­
nition is switched off .
If the position of the mirror surface is changed
on a tilted mirror, this new position will be auto ­
matically assigned to the remote key when the
vehicle is taken out of reverse gear .
(D Note
- Curved mirror surfaces (convex or spheri­ cal*) increase your field of view. Remember
that vehicles or other objects will appear
smaller and farther away than when seen in
a flat mirror. If you use this mirror to esti­
mate distances of following vehicles when
changing lanes, you could estimate incor­ rectly and cause an accident.
- If the mirror housing is moved unintention­
ally (for example, while parking your vehi­
cle), then you must first fold the mirror
electrically. Do not readjust the mirror
housing manually. You could damage the
motor which controls the mirror.
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must fold the exterior mirrors in to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors.
Never fold power folding exterior mirrors*
by hand . Only fold them in and out using
the power controls.
(D Tips
If there should be a malfunction in the elec­
trical system, you can still adjust the exterior
mirrors by pressing the edge of the mirror.

for example from headlights on a vehicle to the rear .
& WARNING
Electrolyte fluid can leak from automatic dim­
ming mirrors if the glass is broken. Electro­
lyte fluid can irritate skin, eyes and respirato­
ry system.
- Repeated or prolonged exposure to electro­
lyte can cause irritation to the respiratory
system, especially among people with asth­
ma or other respiratory conditions. Get
fresh air immediately by leaving the vehicle
or, if that is not possible, open windows and
doors all the way.
- If electrolyte gets into the eyes, flush them
thoroughly with large amounts of clean wa­
ter for at least 15 minutes; medical atten­
tion is recommended .
- If electrolyte contacts skin, flush affected
area with clean water for at least 15 mi­
nutes and then wash affected area with
soap and water; medical attention is recom­
mended. Thoroughly wash affected clothing
and shoes before reuse.
