Steering wheel heating
*
Mirrors
The steering wheel heating is opera-
tional in ignition key position 2.
To switch on and off, press the button.
When the steering wheel is being
heated, the indicator light in the button
is on.
If your car has a multifunctional steering
wheel without steering wheel heating,
this position is occupied by the recircu-
lated air button (see page 20).

for folding the mirrors in and

Press button 3 once to fold the mirrors
in and again to fold them out. This can
for example be useful in car washes or
narrow streets, or to fold the mirrors
back out into the correct position after
they have been folded in.
The mirrors can be folded in at
road speeds of up to approx.
10 km/h.

Adjusting manually
The mirrors can also be adjusted manu-
ally: press the mirror glass at its edges.
To memorise mirror positions, see
"Seat, mirror and steering wheel posi-
tion memory", page 55.
Convex mirror
*
The outer, aspherically curved section
of the mirror displays a larger field of
view, though slightly distorted, than the
inner, convex section. In this way, the
view to the rear is extended and the
blind spot, as it is known, is reduced in
size.
The mirror on the front
passenger's side is convex and
therefore reflected objects are closer
than they appear. It may be difficult to
estimate the precise distance at which
another vehicle is following your car.
The same applies to the aspherical
outer section of the mirrors.

Electric mirror heating
Both mirrors are heated automatically in
ignition key position 2.
