Before going through a car wash,
fold the exterior mirrors inward

manually, or with button 3, otherwise
they could be damaged, depending on
the width of the car wash system.

ally:
Press on the outer edges of their
lenses.

Convex mirror

The passenger-side mirror fea-
tures a convex lens. When esti-

mating the distance between yourself
and other traffic, bear in mind that the
objects 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.

Self-defrosting mirrors

Both mirrors are defrosted automati-
cally when the ignition key is in
position 2.
