Instruments and controls Operation Driving Instrument cluster display 74 Practical hints Car care Technical data Index Rear view mirrors Vehicles with automatic antiglare function: With the key in steering lock position 2, the driver's side mirror reflection brightness responds to changes in light sensitivity. With gear selector lever in position "R", or with the interior lamps (except cargo compartment lamp) switched on, the driver's side mirror brightness does not respond to changes in light sensitivity. Warning! In the case of an accident liquid electrolyte may escape the mirror housing when the mirror glass breaks. Electrolyte has an irritating effect. Do not allow the liquid come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing, or respiratory system. In cases it does, immediately flush affected area with water, and seek medical help if necessary. Important! Electrolyte drops coming into contact with the vehicle paint finish can only be completely removed while in their liquid state, by applying plenty of water. Notes: The exterior mirrors have electrically heated glass. The heater switches on automatically, depending on outside temperature. If an exterior mirror housing is forcibly pivoted from its normal position, it must be repositioned by applying firm pressure until it snaps into place.
