Angling the door mirror when parking1

The door mirror can be angled down for the driver to view the side of the road when parking for example.

When reverse gear is disengaged the mirror automatically returns to its original position after approx. 10 seconds, or earlier by pressing the button labelled L or R respectively.

Press Settings in the top view.

Press My Car → Mirrors.

Under Tilt Mirror in Reverse, select Off, Driver, Passenger or Both to activate/deactivate and to select which review mirror should be angled.

Resetting to neutral

Mirrors that have been moved out of position by an external force must be reset electrically to the neutral position for electric retracting/extending to work correctly:

Retract the mirrors with the L and R buttons.

Fold them out again with the L and R buttons.

Repeat the above procedure as necessary.

The mirrors are now reset in neutral position.

Automatic dimming*

Bright light from behind is automatically dimmed by the interior rearview and door mirrors.

For the door mirrors to be fitted with this function requires that the interior rearview mirror also has automatic dimming, see the section "Interior rearview mirror".

Automatic dimming is always active while driving, apart from when gearbox reverse position is selected. Dimming sensitivity can be adjusted in three levels and will affect the interior rearview and the door mirrors.

Note

When sensitivity is changed there is no immediately noticeable change in dimming, but the change will be complete after a while.

Settings for this function are set via the centre display:

Press Settings in the top view.

Press My Car → Mirrors.

Under Auto Dim Mirrors, select Normal, Dark or Light.

Depress the L and R buttons simultaneously (ignition position must be at least I).

Release them after approximately 1 second. The mirrors automatically stop in the fully retracted position.
