Folding the mirrors in and out manually

M88_00-0085-71 Before the bus is washed, fold mirrors (1) inwards towards the windscreen by means of the mirror arm. ▶ Start the vehicle wash, watch over the bus at all times and stay close to the facility's emergency stop while washing is in progress. ▶ After the washing process, fold mirrors (1) outwards again (working position).

M88_00-0081-71 ▶ Disengage the left-hand mirror from two retaining springs (2) by yanking the outside edge of the mirror housing to the rear.

Note

The mirror can now be turned freely about the rear rotational axis up to a gap of 90 mm from the outside edge of the bus.

Note

With the mirror in this position, a tensioning spring (3) at the top of the mirror ensures that it does not swing back inadvertently. ▶ After the washing process, bend tensioning spring (3) inwards slightly by pressing sideways. ▶ Turn the mirror towards the front and engage it in the working position.

Folding the mirrors in/out electrically (option)

▶ Before the bus is washed: Move both mirrors inwards towards the windscreen using the power folding function. To do this, use the mirror adjuster button on the instrument panel. ▶ Continue as for manual folding of the mirror.

▶ After the washing process: Move both mirrors out using the power folding function.

Warning of damage to property

Do NOT fold the mirrors in or out by hand. This would cause damage to the servomotors. Practical advice
