Door mirrors

Adjusting

Press the L button for the left-hand door mirror or the R button for the right-hand door mirror. The light in the button illuminates.

Adjust the position with the joystick in the centre.

Press the L or R button again. The light should no longer be illuminated.

Warning

V70: The mirror on the driver's side is the wide-angle type to provide optimal vision. Objects may appear further away than they actually are.

XC70: Both mirrors are the wide-angle type to provide optimal vision. Objects may appear further away than they actually are.

Storing the position1

The mirror positions are stored in the key memory when the car has been locked with the remote control key. When the car is unlocked with the same remote control key the mirrors and the driver's seat adopt the stored positions when the driver's door is opened.

The function can be activated/deactivated in the menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR.

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.

Engage reverse gear and press the L or R button.

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

Automatic angling of the door mirror when parking1

When reverse gear is engaged the door mirror is automatically angled down so that the driver can see the side of the road when parking for example. When reverse gear is disengaged the mirror automatically returns to its original position after a short time.

The function can be activated/deactivated in the menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR.

Automatic retraction when locking1

When the car is locked/unlocked with the remote control key the door mirrors are automatically retracted/extended.

The function can be activated/deactivated in the menu system MY CAR, see MY CAR.

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.

Retractable power door mirrors*

The mirrors can be retracted for parking/driving in narrow spaces:

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

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

Fold out the mirrors by pressing down the L and R buttons simultaneously. The mirrors automatically stop in the fully extended position.

Home safe and approach lighting

The lamp on the door mirrors illuminates when approach lighting or home safe lighting is selected.
