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.

You can make the settings of your
vehicle in such a manner that,

when you unlock the car with your per-
sonalized remote control, your own per-
sonalized mirror adjustment is initi-
ated.

Electric heaters

Depending on the outside temperature,
both mirrors are automatically defrosted
when the ignition key is in position 2.

Inside rearview mirror with
automatic dimming feature

This mirror automatically responds to
light (ambient light and headlamp glare)
by dimming through an infinitely vari-
able range.

The mirror automatically reverts to its
clear, undimmed setting whenever you
move the selector lever to Reverse.

To ensure that the mirror continues to
operate properly, keep the two photo-
cells clean and unobstructed. One pho-
tocell is integrated in the mirror glass,
the other somewhat offset on the back
of the mirror.

mic technology used in this mirror, refer
