To switch off: press button longer. The highest level is used for rapid cooling, e.g. when the vehicle has become heated up.< Folding mirrors in and out* Pressing button 3 allows you to fold mirrors in and out up to a speed of approx. 20 mph/ 30 km/h. This is advantageous, for example, in car washes, narrow streets or for bringing mirrors that have been manually folded in back into the correct position. Mirrors that were folded in are folded out automatically at a speed of approx. 25 mph/40 km/h. Before going through a car wash, fold the mirrors in manually, or with button 3, otherwise they could be damaged, depending on the width of the car wash system.< Mirrors Exterior mirrors The mirror on the passenger's side is more curved than the driver's mirror. Objects reflected in the mirror are closer than they appear.
