Damage to safety belts When subjected to strain due to an accident or in the event of damage, replace the safety belts, the belt tensioners, and any child restraint systems and have the belt anchor points checked. Have this work carried out only by a BMW center or a workshop that works according to BMW repair procedures with appropriately trained personnel. Otherwise, correct operation of this safety equipment is not guaranteed.< 1 2 3 Adjusting Switching to the other mirror or to the automatic curb monitor Folding mirrors in and out* Storing the mirror positions, refer to Seat, mirror and steering wheel memory on page 49. Adjusting manually You can also adjust the mirrors manually by pressing against the outer edges of their mirror glass. Folding exterior mirrors in and out The temperature setting advances one step in its control sequence each time you press the button. The maximum temperature is supplied when three LEDs are lit. The temperature is reduced and if need be, the heating is switched off in order to reduce the load on the battery. The LEDs remain lit. To switch off: Press the button longer. 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. Do not estimate the distance of following traffic based on what you see in the mirrors; otherwise, there is an increased accident risk.< Automatic heating Below a certain outdoor temperature, both exterior mirrors are heated whenever the engine is running or the ignition is switched on. 53 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 014 242 - © 08/07 BMW AG Reference Mobility Communications Entertainment Navigation Driving tips Heated seats* Controls At a glance
