Adjusting

Press the L button for the left door mirror or the R button for the right door mirror. The light in the button comes on.
Adjust the position with the joystick in the center.
Press the L or R button again. The light should no longer be on.

 Warning

Objects seen in the mirrors may appear further away than they actually are.

Storing the position*

The mirror positions are stored in the key memory* when the vehicle has been locked with the remote key. When the vehicle is unlocked with the same remote key, the mirrors and the driver's seat adopt the stored positions when the driver's door is opened. The mirrors' position can also be stored in the power seat's* memory.

Tilting the door mirrors when parking1

The door mirrors can be tilted down to help give the driver a better view along the sides of the vehicle, for example when parallel parking.
To activate this function, select reverse gear and press the L or R mirror control button to tilt the mirror down.

The door mirror will reset to its normal position:

  • after 10 seconds when reverse is disengaged
  • immediately if you press the corresponding L or R button again.

 Note

Only one mirror can be tilted down at a time.

Automatically tilting the door mirrors when parking1

This function can be activated/deactivated in the center display.

Tap Settings in Top view.
Tap My CarMirrors.
Under Tilt Mirror In Reverse, select Off, Driver, Passenger or Both to activate/deactivate and select which mirror to tilt.

Folding mirrors*

When parking in a limited space, the mirrors can be folded in:
Press the L and R buttons at the same time (the ignition must be in at least mode I).
Release the buttons after approx. 1 second. The mirrors will stop automatically when they are completely folded in.

Fold out the mirrors by pressing the L and R at the same time. The mirrors will stop automatically when they return to their original positions.

Automatic folding when the vehicle is locked1

The mirrors can be folded in/out automatically when the vehicle is locked/unlocked.

This function can be activated/deactivated in the center display.

Tap Settings in Top view.
Tap My CarMirrors.
Select Fold Mirrors When Locking to activate/deactivate.

Resetting the mirrors' position

A mirror that has been moved manually (e.g., bumped into in a parking lot, etc.) has to be returned to its normal position electrically before automatic folding will function correctly.
Fold in the mirrors with the L and R buttons.
Fold out the mirrors with the L and R buttons.

The mirrors have now been reset to their original positions.

Auto-dim*

Settings can be made for the auto-dim function in the rearview and door mirrors.

The auto-dim function is always active while the vehicle is being driven except when the reverse gear has been selected. The level of sensitivity for this function can be set to three levels, which affect the rearview mirror and door mirrors.

 Note

When the level of sensitivity is changed, this change will not be noticeable immediately but will take effect after a short period of time.

The level of sensitivity is set from the center display:

Tap Settings in Top view.
Tap My CarMirrors.
Under Auto Dim Mirrors, select Normal, Dark or Light.
