Door Mirrors EXTERIOR MIRRORS

NOTE: The right-hand mirror glass is convex, providing a wider field of vision. As a result, objects viewed in the mirror are closer than they appear.

NOTE: On vehicles fitted with the driver’s seat memory facility, up to three different exterior mirror positions can be stored in the seat memory, this enables the driver to recall the optimum mirror position at the touch of a button - for further information, please refer to ‘DRIVER’S SEAT MEMORY FACILITY*’, page49.

• Move the lower control (2) to the left or right-hand position to select either the left or right hand mirror. • With the starter switch turned to position

‘II’, push the appropriate arrow on the mirror adjust control (1) to tilt the mirror glass up/down/left or right. The door mirrors have integral heating elements which disperse ice or mist from the glass. These will operate automatically with the starter switch in position ‘II’, depending on external temperature.

Folding the mirror body

The door mirrors are designed to fold forwards or rearwards on impact. They can also be folded back towards the side windows into a ‘park’ position to enable the vehicle to negotiate narrower openings.

Press the mirror-fold button (arrowed in inset) once to fold the mirrors into the side windows. Press again to return the mirrors to the driving position. NOTE: Mirror folding is disabled if vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h). If the mirrors are accidentally knocked out of position (i.e. with one mirror extended and the other in the ‘parked’ position), an additional operation of the switch will re-synchronise them.

Automatic dimming

On some models, the mirrors are equipped with an electrochromatic dimming function that ‘dims’ the mirror to reduce glare from the headlights of following vehicles at night.

Automatic mirror dipping

Vehicles fitted with driver’s seat memory have a pre-stored function, which causes the passenger’s side mirror to dip whenever reverse gear is selected, giving the driver a view of the curbside. This facility is only available if the mirror select button (‘2’ on previous page), is set to the driver’s side.
