rear screen demisting/de-icing is active.
The door mirror on the driv-
er’s side has two clearly de-
fined zones. Zone B shows
what can normally be seen
in an ordinary rear view mirror. For
your safety, zone A increases the
area you can see at the rear and to
the side of your vehicle.
The objects in zone A look much
further away than they really are.

Its position can be adjusted. When driv-
ing at night, to avoid being dazzled by
the headlights of the vehicle behind,
depress the little lever 2 located behind
rear view mirror.
For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when

Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– they must remain clean: clean
the blades and the windscreen
regularly with soapy water;
– do not use them when the wind-
screen is dry;
– free them from the windscreen
when they have not been used
for a long time.
In all cases, replace them as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency: ap-
proximately once a year.
In snowy or icy conditions, make
sure the wiper blades are not stuck
by ice.
Keep an eye on the condition of the
blades. Replace the wiper blades as
soon as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
