Adjusting the door mirrors

Updated 2020-03-19

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 ignition must be in at least mode I.

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 are completely open.

Resetting the mirrors' position

A mirror that has been moved out of position manually (e.g. hit or bumped into) must be electrically returned to its normal position for automatic folding* to function properly.

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 now reset to their original positions.

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.

Please note that the button may need to be pressed twice depending on settings. When the door mirror is tilted down, the light in the button will flash. When reverse gear is engaged, the door mirrors will automatically start to move after 3 seconds and will reach their original position after about 8 seconds.

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.

Tap Settings in the center display's Top view.

Tap My Car → Mirrors and Convenience.

Under Exterior Mirror Tilt at Reverse, select Off, Driver, Passenger or Both to activate/deactivate and to select which mirror to tilt.

To immediately return the door mirrors to their original position, press the L or R button twice.

Automatic folding when the vehicle is locked*

The door mirrors can automatically fold in when the vehicle is locked and open when the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key. If the mirrors have been folded in manually, they must be folded out manually as well.

Tap Settings in the center display's Top view.

Tap My Car → Mirrors and Convenience.

Select Fold Mirror When Locked to activate/deactivate.
