Adjusting the door mirrors

Updated 2024-10-17

To improve visibility to the rear, the door mirrors need to be adjusted to the driver's height and seating position.

There are several automatic settings that can also be connected to the memory function buttons for the power seat*.

Controls used for door mirrors

P5 1507 Power door mirrors control — Door mirror controls.

The joystick in the drivers' door control panel is used to adjust the position of the door mirrors. The vehicle must be at least in usage mode Comfort.

Press the L button for the left door mirror or R for the right door mirror. The button will light up.

Adjust the position using the joystick located between the buttons.

Press the L or R button again. The light in the button will go out.

Automatically folding door mirrors*

The door mirrors can be automatically folded when driving or parking in tight spaces.

Press the L and R buttons at the same time.

Release the buttons after about 1 second. The mirrors will automatically stop when they are completely folded in.

Open the mirrors by pressing L and R at the same time. The mirrors will automatically stop when they reach the last-used setting.

Automatic folding when the vehicle is locked*

The door mirrors fold in or out automatically when the vehicle is locked/unlocked using the key. The function can be turned off via the center display.

Note

If the mirrors are folded in manually using the L and R buttons and the vehicle is then locked, the mirrors will not fold out automatically when the vehicle is unlocked, even if this preference has been set. The door mirrors must be folded out manually using the L and R buttons.

Resetting the mirrors' position

Mirrors that are moved from their position due to outside influence, for example, being frozen in the folded-in position and then manually moved to the folded-out position, must be electrically reset to their original position for electric folding* to function correctly.

Fold in the mirrors by pressing the L and R buttons at the same time.

Open them again by pressing the L and R buttons at the same time.

Repeat the above procedure as needed.

The mirrors are reset to their neutral positions and electric folding functions again.

Tilting when parking1

The door mirrors can be tilted down to help give the driver a better view along the sides of the vehicle, e.g. of the curb when parking.

Select reverse gear and press the L or R mirror button.

Note that the button needs to be pressed twice. When the door mirror is tilted down, the light in the button will flash. When reverse gear is disengaged, the door mirrors automatically return to their original positions.

Automatically tilting when parking1

With this setting, the door mirrors will automatically tilt down when reverse gear is engaged. The folded position is preset and cannot be adjusted.
