Mirrors

NOTICE
Broken glass in the self-dimming rearview mirrors can cause electrolyte fluid leakage. Liquid electrolyte leaked from a broken mirror glass will damage any plastic surfaces it comes in contact with. Clean up spilled electrolyte fluid immediately with clear water and a sponge.
Inside mirror

Fig. 83 Self-dimming rearview mirror (if equipped).

Fig. 84 Manually adjustable inside mirror.

The self-dimming feature can be switched on and off with the switch on the inside mirror (2) A or (2) B. When self-dimming is activated, the indicator light (1) is on.
There are two sensors in the interior mirror housing:
x One sensor on the side facing the interior to measure light from the rear of the vehicle ⇒ fig. 83 A
(3) or ⇒ fig. 83 B (3).
x One sensor on the side facing the windshield to measure light from the front of the vehicle ⇒ fig. 83 C (4).
If the ignition is switched on, the mirror automatically darkens depending on the amount of light shining into the vehicle from the rear.
The self-dimming feature is deactivated when you shift the transmission into reverse or switch on the interior lights or the reading light.
Do not attach external navigation devices to the windshield or in the vicinity of the self-dimming inside
mirror ⇒ .
WARNING
The illuminated display on an external navigation device can cause the self-dimming inside mirror to malfunction, which can result in crashes and serious injuries.
x Malfunctions in the self-dimming function can result in the inside mirror being unable to evaluate the exact distance of vehicles in the rear or other objects.
If the light striking the sensor is filtered or blocked (such as by a sunshade), the self-dimming inside mirror will not work properly or may not work at all.
Outside mirrors

Fig. 85 In the driver door: Adjusting knob for the outside mirrors.

Turn the knob to the desired position:
?
Switch on outside mirror heating. Heats only
at outside air temperatures below +68 °F
(+20 °C).
, Adjust the left outside mirror by pressing the
knob to left/right and up/down.
2 Adjust the right outside mirror by pressing the
knob to left/right and up/down.
/ Neutral position. No heating or adjustment
possible.

Synchronous mirror adjustment
x In the Settings - Convenience menu, select Mirror adjust - Both mirrors for syn-
chronous outside mirror adjustment ⇒  Volkswagen Information System.
x Turn the adjusting knob to the L position.
x Adjust the left outside mirror. The right (passenger) outside mirror will automatically adjust at the same time.
x If needed, correct the position of the right mirror by turning the adjusting knob to the R position.
WARNING
Improper use of the folding outside mirrors can cause personal injury.
x Always make sure that nobody is in the way when folding the mirrors in or out.
x 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 seri-ous injury.
x 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.
x 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.
x Whenever possible, use the inside mirror to more accurately judge distance and size of vehicles or other objects seen in the convex mirror.
x Always make sure you have a clear view to the rear of the vehicle.

NOTICE
Always fold in the outside mirrors when taking the vehicle through an automatic car wash.
To reduce fuel consumption, use outside mirror heating only when needed.
When first switched on, outside mirror heating works with maximum heat for about 2 minutes.
If power mirror adjustment does not work, the outside mirrors can be adjusted by hand by press-ing on the edges of the mirror surface.

Driving situa-
tions
Requirements and
conditions Vehicle behavior
Driving in cold
months.
– Do not warm up the
combustion engine by
running it with the
vehicle stationary.
The temperature of the com-
bustion engine increases very
slowly, but fuel consumption
increases considerably.
– Careful use of heat-
ing for the rear win-
dow, outside mirror,
and front seats.
This prevents energy loss and
saves energy for the electric
motor.
– Leave the vehicle in
a garage overnight.
This prevents the high-voltage
battery and the vehicle interior
from cooling down too much.
The optimal temperature of the
high-voltage battery is reached
quicker at the beginning of the
journey and the combustion
engine can be switched off
quicker when the vehicle inte-
rior is sufficiently heated.
