The mirror on the passenger's
side features a lens with a more
convex surface than the mirror installed
on the driver's side. When estimating
the distance between yourself and
other traffic, bear in mind that the ob-
jects reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. This means that esti-
mations of the distance to following
traffic should not be regarded as pre-
cise.<
Your BMW center can adjust your
vehicle's systems in such a man-
ner that your personalized setting is
automatically called up for the mirror
position when you unlock the car with
your personal remote control.<
Self-defrosting mirrors
Both mirrors are automatically defrosted
with the ignition key in position 2.
Interior rearview mirror, automatic
dimming feature
By responding to the effects of ambient
light and the glare from following traffic,
this mirror dims automatically through
an infinitely-variable range.
The mirror automatically reverts to its
clear, undimmed setting whenever you
engage reverse gear.
To ensure that the mirror continues to
operate properly, keep the two photo-
cells clean and unobstructed. One pho-
tocell (arrow) is in the mirror glass,
while the other is offset somewhat on
the opposite side of the mirror.
For an explanation of the electrochromic
technology used in this mirror, refer to
page 167.
