When you press button 1 for the first time,
the exterior mirror on the driver’s side is
always selected.
If you do not make adjustments to the
selected exterior rear view mirror within
15 seconds, the indicator lamp goes out. You
will then have to select the desired exterior
rear view mirror again before adjustments
can be made. Adjustments can only be made
with the indicator lamp for the respective
exterior rear view mirror button illuminated.

hit from the front, manually snap it back
into place.

automatically.
Auto-dimming rear view mirrors
The exterior rear view mirror on the driver’s
side and the interior rear view mirror will
respond automatically to glare when the
ignition is switched on and incoming light
from headlamps falls on the sensor in the
interior rear view mirror.
The rear view mirrors will not react if the
automatic transmission is set to reverse gear
R or the interior lighting is switched on.
G
Warning!
The auto dimming function does not react
if incoming light is not aimed directly at
sensors 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, if the rear window
sunshade is in raised position.
Light hitting the mirror(s) at certain angles
(incident light) could blind you. As a result,
you may not be able to observe traffic
conditions and could cause an accident.
