ror memory, page

Curved mirror

The outer, aspherically curved section
of the mirror displays a larger field of
view, though slightly distorted, than the
inner, convex section. In this way, the
view to the rear is extended and the so-
called blind spot is reduced in size.

The mirror on the passenger's
side is more convex than the mir-

ror on the driver's side, and therefore
reflected objects are closer than they
appear. It may be difficult to estimate
the precise distance at which another
vehicle is following your car. This also
applies to the aspherical section of both
outside mirrors.

Electric heating*

Both mirrors are heated automatically
when the ignition key is in position 2.

Inside mirror

To reduce glare from the rear when
driving after dark, turn the knob under-
neath the mirror.

Car without alarm system: flick the
small lever forward.
