Door mirrors
As a safety measure, the
mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spots".
The objects that you see in the mirrors are in fact closer than they appear.
Take this into account in order to correctly judge the distance of vehicles approaching from behind.
Adjustment
Manual folding
The mirrors can be folded manually (parking obstruction, narrow garage, etc.).
Electric folding
If the vehicle is so equipped, the mirrors can be folded electrically from the inside, with the vehicle parked and the ignition on:
Electric unfolding
The automatic door mirror
folding/unfolding function is configured via the Driving / Vehicle touch screen
menu.
Demisting/Defrosting
If the vehicle is so equipped,
demisting/defrosting of the heated door mirrors is performed when the heated
rear screen is switched on.
For more information on Rear screen demisting/defrosting, refer to the corresponding section.
Interior rear view mirror
Equipped with an anti-dazzle system, which darkens the mirror glass and reduces the nuisance to the driver caused by the sun, headlamps of other vehicles, etc.
Manual model
Day/night position
Adjustment
Automatic "electrochrome" model
This system automatically and progressively transitions between day and night modes, using a sensor that measures the light entering from the rear of the vehicle.
To ensure optimum
visibility during your manoeuvres, the mirror lightens automatically when
reverse gear is engaged.
