Mirrors
Before starting off, adjust the mirrors in such a way that you can get a good overview of road and traffic conditions.
Exterior mirrors
 | Risk of accident |
|
The exterior mirrors reduce the size of the image. Objects are actually closer than they appear. You could misjudge the distance from vehicles driving behind and cause an accident, e.g. when changing lane. For this reason, make sure of the actual distance from the vehicle driving behind by glancing over your shoulder.

Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors*
The rear-view mirror and the exterior mirror on the driver's side automatically go into anti-dazzle mode if the ignition is switched on and incident light from headlamps strikes the sensor in the rear-view mirror.
The mirrors do not go into anti-dazzle mode if reverse gear is engaged and the interior lighting is switched on.
| Risk of accident |
|
If the incident light from headlamps cannot strike the sensor in the rear-view mirror, if the rear window blind* is extended for instance, the mirrors' automatic anti-dazzle function will not operate.
Incident light could then dazzle you. This may prevent you from observing the traffic conditions, thereby causing an accident. In this case, switch the rear-view mirror to anti-dazzle mode manually.
|
| Risk of injury |
|
Electrolyte may escape if the glass in an automatic anti-dazzle mirror breaks.
Electrolyte is a strong irritant and must not be allowed to come into contact with your skin, eyes or respiratory organs.
If electrolyte comes into contact with your eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with clean water immediately. Consult a doctor if necessary.
|
 | |
|
If electrolyte drips onto the vehicle's paintwork, immediately rinse residue off the paintwork thoroughly with clean water, otherwise the paintwork will be damaged.
Electrolyte cannot be rinsed off once it has dried.
