Mirrors
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.
|
The convex exterior mirrors provide a larger field of vision.
At low outside temperatures the exterior mirrors are heated automatically.

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, for instance when the rear window blind* is extended, the mirror's automatic anti-dazzle function will not operate.
Incident light could then dazzle you. This may distract you from the traffic conditions, and you may thereby cause an accident. In this case, adjust the rear-view mirror manually.
