behind you.
•
Make sure that you do not get your finger trapped between the mirror
and the mirror base when folding back the mirrors. Risk of injury!

If the mirror housing is moved as a result of exterior force (e.g. knocked when
parking the vehicle), the mi rrors must be folded in electrically to the final
position. Do not readjust the mirror housing by hand, as this will interfere
with the mirror adjuster function.
•
