rear view mirror VOLKSWAGEN CC 2015 Owner´s Manual

WARNING
Improper use of the folding outside mirrors can cause personal
injury.
Always make sure that nobody is in the way when folding the
mirrors in or out.
Make sure that you do not get your finger caught between the
mirror and the mirror base when moving the mirrors.
WARNING
Incorrectly estimating distances with the right outside mirror
can cause collisions and serious injury.
The right outside mirror has a convex (curved) surface. This
widens your field of vision. But vehicles or other objects seen
in a convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than they
really are.
If you use the right outside mirror to judge distances from
vehicles behind you when changing lanes, you could estimate
incorrectly and cause a crash and serious injuries.
Whenever possible, use the inside mirror to more accurately
judge distance and size of vehicles or other objects seen in the
convex mirror.
Always make sure you have a clear view to the rear of the ve-
hicle.
NOTICE
Always fold in the outside mirrors when taking the vehicle
through an automatic car wash.
Never fold power mirrors in manually because doing so could
damage the electrical drive.
To reduce fuel consumption, use outside mirror heating only
when needed.
When first switched on, outside mirror heating works with maxi-
mum heat for about 2 minutes.

Trailer taillights
Trailer lights must meet all regulations ⇒ Hitching up and connecting
a trailer.
Never connect the trailer lights directly to the electrical system of your
vehicle.
Outside mirrors
If you cannot see the traffic behind you using the regular outside mir-
rors, then you must install extended mirrors. Extended mirrors may
also be required by law in some countries/states/provinces. Always
adjust the outside mirrors before driving. It's vital that you always
have a clear view to the rear of the vehicle.
Maximum power consumption for the trailer
Do not exceed the power ratings listed in the chart below.

Electrical load Maximum power
Brake lights total 108 watts
Turn signals per side 54 watts
Side marker lights total 100 watts
Taillights total 54 watts

WARNING
An improperly installed or incorrect trailer hitch can cause a
trailer to separate from the tow vehicle and cause serious per-
sonal injuries.
If you don't have to tow a trailer any more, remove the entire
trailer hitch. Always seal all bolt holes to prevent water and
deadly exhaust fumes from getting into the vehicle.
NOTICE
If the trailer lights are not connected properly, the vehicle's
electronics may be damaged.
