Rear-view mirrorsThe rear-view mirror has day/night positions
that can be selected by means of a knob
beneath the mirror. Adjust the mirror in day
position.
Door mirrorsThe passenger side door mirror is of the
wide-angle ‘‘aspheric” type.
The adjusting switch is on the driver’s door.
If the car is equipped with a programmable
driver’s seat, the settings of the door mirrors
can also be stored in the preset buttons for
the seat (see page 122).
The mirrors are heated, and the heating
comes on and goes off with the rear-window
heater. The door mirrors are designed to fold back
if knocked. They can also be fully retracted
for parking in tight spaces, such as on the
car deck of a ferry. Remember to fold them
out again before driving off.
WARNING
Take care not to trap your fingers
between the door and the mirror when
folding the mirror out again. NOTEThe door mirrors must be fully retracted
before the car enters an automatic car
wash.

126 Interior equipment and trunkCars equipped with a programmable
driver’s seat also have a facility for angling
the passenger’s mirror down on reversing,
e.g. for a better view of the curb.
After selecting reverse, press the tiny button
adjacent to the door-mirror switch to tilt the
mirror. The mirror will be reset automatically
when reverse gear is deselected.
Rear-view mirror with auto dimming
functionThe interior rear-view mirror has two sen-
sors, one forward-facing and one rear-fac-
ing.
The system is activated when the for-
ward-facing sensor detects that it is dark
outside and the rear-facing sensor detects,
for example, if the car following has not
dimmed its headlights. The rear-view mirror
is then darkened to prevent the strong light
source from dazzling the driver. This dark-
ening is stepless.
The mirror returns to its normal state when
the strong light source diminishes.
The auto dimming function can be turned
OFF with the switch on the lower edge of the
rear-view mirror.
The system is turned off when reverse gear
is engaged or selected.
Towing a trailer can cause the system to
malfunction, as the rear-facing sensor may
sense light from the trailer.

128 Interior equipment and trunk
Child safety: rear windows (ON/OFF)The window switches on the rear doors can
be rendered inoperative by the ON/OFF
switch in the panel on the center console.
When the switch is ON, the rear side win-
dows can be operated by the switch on each
rear door. The switch’s back lighting will be
activated.
When the switch is OFF, the rear side win-
dows can only be operated from the panel
on the center console. When off, the
switch’s back lighting will also be switched
off.
Sunroof (Option in Canada) The sunroof is operated by the switch on the
overhead panel above the rearview mirror.
The sunroof can be opened partially or fully.
WARNING
 Bear in mind the pinch hazard when
operating the sunroof. Make sure that
all passengers keep their heads,
hands and fingers clear of the opening
before operating the sunroof. Serious
personal injury may otherwise be
caused.
Always remove the ignition key when
leaving the car, to avert the danger of
injury arising from unattended children
operating the sunroof.
