- In these positions you can adjust the exterior mirrors (left or right) by moving the knob in the desired direction.
- The mirrors are heated (depending on the outside temperature).
- The exterior mirrors are retracted*. One of the MMI settings allows you to control whether or not the mirrors are folded in when you lock the vehicle Link.
Tilt function for front passenger's exterior mirror*
The mirror is automatically tilted slightly to provide a better view of the kerb when parking backwards. This feature is operational when the knob is in position .
.
You can adjust the tilted mirror surface by moving the knob in the desired direction. This new position is automatically stored and assigned to the remote control key when you take the car out of reverse.
The mirror returns to its original position as soon as you drive forwards at over 15 km/h or switch off the ignition.
WARNING!
Convex or wide-angle* exterior mirrors give a larger field of vision. However, they make objects look smaller and further away than they really are. If you use these mirrors to estimate the distance to vehicles behind you when changing lane, you could misjudge the distance. Risk of accident!
Caution!
- If one of the mirror housings is knocked out of position (e.g. when parking), the mirrors must first be fully retracted with the electric control. Do not readjust the mirror housing by hand, as this will interfere with the mirror adjuster function.
- Before washing the vehicle in an automatic car wash, please make sure to retract the exterior mirrors to prevent them from being damaged. Electrically retractable exterior mirrors* must NOT be folded in or out by hand. Always use the electrical power control.
Note
- If the electrical adjustment should fail to operate, both of the mirrors can be adjusted by hand by lightly pressing the edge of the mirror glass.
- The settings of the exterior mirrors are stored using the memory function* Link.
