Adjusting the door mirrors

Updated 2023-05-09

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*.

Resetting the mirrors' position
