50 Mirrors The mirror on the passenger's side is more convex than the driver's mirror. The objects reflected in the mirror are closer than they appear. This means that when you are estimating the distance to following vehicles, the mirror is not necessarily a reliable aid. This also applies to the outer parts of each mirror.< Electric defrosting To adjust exterior mirrors 1 Switch for 4-way adjustment 2 Switch to select between mirrors Both mirrors are heated automatically in ignition key position 2. Interior rearview mirror with automatic dimming feature While the vehicle is being driven forward, this mirror dims light through an infinitely variable range depending on the light's incidence. Two photocells in the interior rearview mirror serve this purpose. One is positioned in the mirror's frame, while the other is slightly offset on the opposite side of the mirror. To ensure perfect functioning, keep the photocells clean and the area between the interior rearview mirror and the windshield free of any obstruction like stickers, etc. To adjust manually The mirrors can also be adjusted manually: Press the edges of the lens. To store the mirror settings, refer to Seat and mirror memory on page 48. Curved mirror The outer part of each mirror conveys a slightly distorted, larger field of vision than the inner part of the mirror. This helps to extend your range of vision toward the rear and to reduce the size of the blind spot. Online Edition for Part-No. 01 41 0 158 512 - © 09/04 BMW AG

Curved mirror
The outer part of each mirror conveys a
slightly distorted, larger field of vision
than the inner part of the mirror. This
helps to extend your range of vision
toward the rear and to reduce the size
of the blind spot.
The mirror on the passenger's
side is more convex than the
driver's mirror. The objects reflected in
the mirror are closer than they appear.
This means that when you are estimat-
ing the distance to following vehicles,
the mirror is not necessarily a reliable
aid. This also applies to the outer parts
of each mirror.

Electric defrosting
Both mirrors are heated automatically in
ignition key position 2.
Interior rearview mirror with
automatic dimming feature
While the vehicle is being driven for-
ward, this mirror dims light through an
infinitely variable range depending on
the light's incidence. Two photocells in
the interior rearview mirror serve this
purpose. One is positioned in the mir-
ror's frame, while the other is slightly
offset on the opposite side of the mir-
ror.
To ensure perfect functioning, keep the
photocells clean and the area between
the interior rearview mirror and the
windshield free of any obstruction like
stickers, etc.
