Adjusting the exterior mirrors
WARNING
The exterior mirrors reduce the size of the
image. Objects are actually closer than they
appear. You could misjudge the distance from
vehicles driving behind and cause an
accident, e.g. when changing lane. For this
reason, make sure of the actual distance from
the vehicle driving behind by glancing over
your shoulder.
► Make sure that the SmartKey is in position 1 or 2 in the ignition lock.

exterior mirror
