Rear mirror
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror
64
Exterior mirrors
65WARNING■ Make sure that the mirror is not covered by ice, snow, mist or other objects.■Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of vi-
sion. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These mir-
rors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the following
vehicles.■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.
■
The illuminated display of an external navigation unit can lead to operation-
al faults to the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.
WARNINGAutomatic dimming mirrors contain an electrolytic fluid which may leak should
the mirror glass break.■
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath apparatus.
Immediately seek out fresh air and leave the vehicle. If this is not possible,
open all windows and doors.
■
If you swallow electrolytic fluid, seek medical assistance immediately.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immediately
wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. Then con-
sult a doctor immediately. 
