Vision
Adjusting the exterior mirrors
- Turn the knob in the driver's door to the desired position:
0 - Deactivates all adjustment functions.
- Selects the left or right exterior mirror. To adjust the mirror glass in a mirror, press the knob in the desired direction.
- Heats the mirror glass depending on the outside temperature.
- Folds the exterior mirrors*. To fold the mirrors out, turn the knob to one of the other positions. In the Infotainment system, you can select if the mirrors fold in automatically when you lock the vehicle.
Front passenger's exterior mirror tilt function*
Requirement: the knob must be in the position for the front passenger’s exterior mirror.
The mirror surfaces tilt slightly when reverse gear is selected to provide a better view, for example of the edge of the curb.
You can adjust the mirror surface by turning the knob in the desired direction. When you move out of reverse and into another gear, the new mirror position is stored and assigned to the key you are using.
The mirror goes back into its original position once you drive forward faster than 9 mph (15 km/h) or turn the ignition off.
WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex) enlarge the field of vision. However, they make objects in the mirror appear smaller and farther away. When using these mirrors to estimate your distance to vehicles behind you when changing lanes, you could estimate incorrectly, which increases the risk of an accident.
Note
If the mirror housing was moved by force (for example, by running into an object when maneuvering the vehicle), the mirror must be folded all the way in using the power folding function. The mirror housing must not be moved back into place by hand because this could impair the function of the mirror mechanism.
Tips
If the power adjusting function malfunctions, the glass in both mirrors can be adjusted by pressing on the edge of it by hand.
Dimming the mirrors
Automatic dimming rearview mirror
- The interior and exterior mirrors* dim automatically when light shines on them, for example from headlights on a vehicle behind you.
WARNING
Electrolyte fluid can leak from automatic dimming mirrors if the glass is broken. Electrolyte fluid can irritate skin, eyes and airways.
— Repeated or long-term exposure to electrolyte fluid can lead to irritation of the airways, especially in people with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Take deep breaths immediately after leaving the vehicle or, if this is not possible, open all of the doors and windows as wide as possible.
— If electrolyte fluid comes into contact with the eyes, flush them thoroughly with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes and then seek medical attention.
— If electrolyte fluid comes into contact with the skin, flush the affected area with clean water for at least 15 minutes, and then clean with soap and water and seek medical attention. Clean affected clothing and shoes thoroughly before wearing again.
— If the fluid was swallowed and the person is conscious, flush the mouth with water for at least 15 minutes. Do not induce vomiting unless this is recommended by medical professionals. Seek medical attention immedi- ately.
Note
If the glass on an automatic dimming mirror breaks, electrolyte can leak out. This liquid damages plastic surfaces. Clean this liquid as quickly as possible, for example with a wet sponge.
Tips
— If the light reaching the rearview mirror is obstructed, the automatic dimming mirror will not function correctly,
The automatic dimming mirrors do not dim when the interior lighting is turned on or the reverse gear is selected.
