Adjusting the door mirrors

To improve visibility to the rear, the door mirrors need to be adjusted to the driver’s height and seating position. There are several automatic settings that can also be connected to the memory function buttons for the power seat.

Controls used for door mirrors


Door mirror controls.

The joystick in the drivers’ door control panel is used to adjust the position of the door mirrors. The ignition must be in at least mode I.

  • Press the L button for the left door mirror or R for the right door mirror. The button will light up.
  • Adjust the position using the joystick located between the buttons.
  • Press the L or R button again. The light in the button will go out.

Automatically folding door mirrors

The door mirrors can be automatically folded when driving or parking in tight spaces.

  • Press the L and R buttons at the same time.
  • Release the buttons after about 1 second. The mirrors will automatically stop when they are completely folded in.

Open the mirrors by pressing L and R at the same time. The mirrors will automatically stop when they reach the last-used setting.

Restoring to original position

A mirror that has been moved out of position manually (e.g. hit or bumped into) must be electrically returned to its original position for automatic folding to function properly.

  • Fold in the mirrors by pressing the L and R buttons at the same time.
  • Open them again by pressing the L and R buttons at the same time.
  • Repeat the above procedure as needed.

The mirrors return to their original positions.

Tilting when parking

The door mirrors can be tilted down to help give the driver a better view along the sides of the vehicle, e.g. of the curb when parking.

  • Select reverse gear and press the L or R mirror button.

Please note that the button may need to be pressed twice depending on settings. When the door mirror is tilted down, the light in the button will flash. When reverse gear is engaged, the door mirrors will automatically start to move after 3 seconds and will reach their original position after about 8 seconds.

Automatically tilting when parking

With this setting, the door mirrors will automatically tilt down when reverse gear is engaged. The folded position is preset and cannot be adjusted. This is to help give the driver a better view along the sides of the vehicle, such as of the curb when parking.

  • Tap Settings in the center display’s Top view.
  • Tap My CarMirrors and Convenience.
  • Under Exterior Mirror Tilt at Reverse, select Off, Driver, Passengeror Both to activate/deactivate and to select which mirror to tilt.

To immediately return the door mirrors to their original position, press the L or R button twice.

Automatic folding when the vehicle is locked

You can use the center display to set the door mirrors to fold in or out automatically when the car is locked or unlocked with the key.

  • Tap Settings in the center display’s Top view.
  • Tap My Car Mirrors and Convenience.
  • Select Fold Mirror When Locked to activate/deactivate.
NOTE

If you manually fold in the mirrors using the L and R buttons and then lock the vehicle, they will not fold out automatically when you unlock the vehicle, even if this preference has been set. They must then be folded out manually.

Adjusting the rearview mirror dimming function

Bright light from behind is automatically dimmed by the rearview mirror and door mirrors when it is dark outside or in limited light conditions, such as when driving in tunnels. Auto-dim is always active when the engine is running, except when reverse gear is engaged.

The rearview mirror instead has two sensors – one pointing forward and one pointing rearward – which work together to identify and eliminate glare. The forward-pointing sensor monitors ambient light, while the rearward-pointing sensor monitors light from the headlights of following vehicles.

NOTE

Adjustments to the sensitivity level will not be noticeable immediately but will instead take effect after a short period of time.

To change the dimming sensitivity level:

  • Tap Settings in the Top view in the center display.
  • Tap My Car Mirrors and Convenience.
  • Under Rearview Mirror Auto Dimming, select Normal, Darkor Light.

The sensitivity level for dimming will affect both the rearview mirror and door mirrors.

NOTE

If the sensors are obstructed by e.g. a parking permit, transponder, sunshade or objects on the seats or parcel shelf in a way that prevents light from reaching the sensors, the auto-dim function in the rearview and door mirrors will be reduced.

Automatically activating and deactivating the heated rear window and door mirrors

The heated rear window and door mirrors are used to quickly remove condensation and ice from the glass.

It is possible to select whether rear window and door mirror heating should be automatically activated or deactivated when the engine is started. With automatic start activated, heating will be activated when there is a risk of ice or condensation on the windows or mirrors. Heating is automatically switched off when the window or door mirror is sufficiently warm and the condensation or ice is gone.

  • Tap Settings in the Top view in the center display.
  • Tap Climate.
  • Select Auto Rear Defroster to activate/deactivate automatic rear window and door heating.

HomeLink®

HomeLink® is a programmable remote control integrated in the vehicle’s electrical system.

It can remotely control up to three different devices, such as garage door openers or alarm systems, and thereby replace the remote controls for these.

  1. Button 1
  2. Button 2
  3. Button 3
  4. Indicator light

Rearview/door mirrors

The rearview mirror and door mirrors can be used to improve the driver’s visibility behind the vehicle.

Rearview mirror

The rearview mirror can be adjusted manually. The rearview mirror is equipped with HomeLink*, auto-dim and compass.

Door mirrors

The power door mirrors have a wide-angle field in the outer edge of the mirrors to provide better visibility of objects in the vehicle’s blind spot.

WARNING

The door mirror on the passenger side is curved to improve visibility. Objects in the mirror may appear farther away than they actually are.

The joystick in the drivers’ door control panel is used to adjust the position of the door mirrors. There are also several automatic settings that can also be connected to the memory function buttons for the power seat.

Storing positions for seats, mirrors and head-up display

Adjustment settings for the power seat, door mirrors and head-up display can be stored in the memory buttons.

Two different positions for the power seat, door mirrors and head-up display can be stored using the memory buttons. The buttons are located on the inside of either one or both front doors.

  1. Button M for storing a setting.
  2. Memory button.
  3. Memory button.

Storing positions

  • Adjust the seat, door mirrors and head-up display to the desired position.
  • Press and hold the M button. The indicator light in the button will illuminate.
  • Within three seconds, press and hold the 1 or 2 button.

> When the position has been stored in the memory button, an audio signal will sound and the indicator light in the M button will go out.

If none of the memory buttons are pressed within three seconds, the M button will go out and no position will be stored.

The seats, door mirrors or head-up display must be readjusted before a new memory position can be set.

NOTE

For the stored positions to work, all driver profiles must be in Protect Profile mode.

Using stored positions for seats, mirrors and head-up display

If the positions for the power seat, door mirrors and head-up display have been stored, they can be activated using the memory buttons.

Using a stored position

To use a stored position, press and hold one of the memory buttons 1 (2) or 2 (3) until the seat reaches the stored position.

If the memory button is released, the seat, door mirrors and head-up display will stop moving.

WARNING
  • Because the driver’s seat can be adjusted with the ignition off, children should never be left unattended in the vehicle.
  • Movement of the seat can be STOPPED at any time by pressing any button on the power seat control panel.
  • Do not adjust the seat while driving.
  • The seat should be adjusted so that the brake pedal can be depressed fully. In addition, position the seat as far rearward as comfort and control allow.
