Power folding exterior rear view
mirrors*
Folding the exterior rear view mirrors
in and out automatically
When the corresponding function in the
control system is activated (
୴ page 184):
ț The exterior rear view mirrors automat-
ically fold in as soon as the vehicle is
locked from the outside.
ț The exterior rear view mirrors automat-
ically fold out as soon as the vehicle is

senger door are subsequently opened.
Synchronizing exterior rear view
mirrors
The power folding rear view mirrors may
have to be synchronized after the vehicle
battery has been disconnected or
discharged. If the exterior rear view
mirrors do not fold properly upon locking
or unlocking the vehicle although the
corresponding function in the control
system is activated (
୴ page 184), do the
following:
̈ Fold each exterior rear view mirror in
completely (
୴ page 205).
̈ Fold each exterior rear view mirror out
completely (
୴ page 205).
When the exterior rear view mirrors fold
properly upon locking the vehicle, the
exterior mirrors are synchronized.
Otherwise repeat the above steps.
Warning! G
The auto-dimming function does not react if
incoming light is not aimed directly at sen-
sors in the interior rear view mirror.
The interior rear view mirror and the exterior
rear view mirror on the driver’s side do not
react, for example, when transporting cargo
which covers the rear window.
Light hitting the mirror(s) at certain angles
(incident light) could blind you. As a result,
you may not be able to observe the traffic
conditions and could cause an accident.
Warning! G
Exercise care when using the passen-
ger-side exterior rear view mirror. The mirror
surface is convex (outwardly curved surface
for a wider field of view). Objects in mirror
are closer than they appear. Check your
interior rear view mirror or glance over your
shoulder before changing lanes.
!
Before you drive the vehicle through an
automatic car wash, fold in the exterior rear view
mirrors. Otherwise they may get damaged.
