Mirror folding *

The body of each door mirror is designed to fold flat against the side of the car on impact. The mirrors can also be folded back manually towards the side windows into a ‘park’ position to enable the car to negotiate narrow openings.

H3250

On some cars the ‘park’ position can be achieved electrically, as follows:

With the starter switch turned on, press the mirror fold switch

(see illustration on previous page); both mirrors will fold back towards the side window. Press the switch a second time to return the mirrors to their normal position. If one mirror is accidentally knocked out of position, a single press of the switch will resynchronise both.

Operating tip: Note that the switch can be operated for up to

40 seconds after the starter switch has been turned off.

The interior mirror is equipped with a light sensor (arrowed) which activates the automatic dipping function.
