The door mirrors are electrically adjustable
and heated. The controls for adjusting the
mirrors are on the driver’s door:
1 Select a door mirror with the upper
button.
2 Adjust the mirror using the touch pad.
The mirror glass can also be adjusted man-
ually by gently pressing the glass in the
desired direction.
The mirror heating is turned on together with
the rear window heating.
If the car has an electrically adjustable
driver’s seat with memory, the mirror
settings are stored in the memory (see
page 20).Manual retraction
The door mirrors are designed to fold back
if knocked. The mirrors can also be
retracted manually. This can be useful when
parking in tight spaces, such as on the car
deck of a ferry. Remember to return the door
mirrors to their normal positions before
driving off.Reversing position3
On certain model variants, the passenger-
side mirror glass can be angled down to
facilitate reversing. Press the button
shown in the illustration. This is located
under the touch pad. Return the mirror to its
normal position by pressing the button
again. The mirror will also return to its
normal position if you drive forward approx-
imately 22 yds. (20 meters).
