NOTICE
Always fold in the outside mirrors when taking the
vehicle through an automatic car wash.
Synchronous mirror adjustment (if equipped)
The synchronous mirror adjustment feature simulta-
neously adjusts the right outside mirror when the
left outside mirror is adjusted.
To help reduce fuel consumption, use outside
mirror heating only when needed.
If power mirror adjustment does not work, the
outside mirrors can be adjusted by hand by
pressing on the edges of the mirror surface.
— Turn on the synchronous mirror adjustment fea-
ture in the Infotainment system, if necessary.
— Turn the outside mirror adjusting knob to the
position.
— Adjust the left outside mirror. The right (passen-
ger) outside mirror will automatically adjust at the
same time.
Sun protection
— If needed, correct the position of the right mirror
by turning the adjusting knob to the position.
Sun visors
Self-dimming outside mirror on the driver side (if
equipped)
The self-dimming outside mirror on the driver side
works automatically with the self-dimming inside
mirror → page 122, Inside mirror.
WARNING
Improper use of the folding outside mirrors can
cause personal injury.
Always make sure that nobody is in the way
when folding the mirrors in or out.

Fig. 87 Sun visor.
Make sure that you do not get your finger
caught between the mirror and the mirror base
when moving the mirrors.
·
Adjusting the sun visors
— Flip the sun visor down toward the windshield.
— Lift the sun visor out of the retaining clip
→ fig. 87 A .
WARNING
Incorrectly estimating distances with the right
outside mirror can cause collisions and serious in-
jury.
— Swivel the sun visor toward the door.
On some vehicles, you can slide the sun visor toward
door.
The right outside mirror has a convex (curved)
·
surface. This widens your field of vision. But ve-
hicles or other objects seen in a convex mirror
will look smaller and farther away than they
really are.
Vanity mirror and lighting
A vanity mirror is behind a cover in the sun visor.
When you slide the cover open → fig. 87 B , the
light → fig. 87 1 comes on.
If you use the right outside mirror to judge dis-
·
tances from vehicles behind you when changing
lanes, you could estimate incorrectly and cause
a crash and serious injuries.
Whenever possible, use the inside mirror to
more accurately judge distance and size of vehi-
cles or other objects seen in the convex mirror.
·
— The sun visor is moved lengthwise or is not fully
pushed in.
Always make sure you have a clear view to the
rear of the vehicle.
·
WARNING
Sun visors and sunshades can reduce visibility.
