...or electrically (installed on car parts). In this case, the mirror folding button, marked with a special pictogram, is located on the power mirror adjustment unit.
The reflective elements of the exterior mirrors are equipped with heating filaments to prevent fogging and frosting of the mirrors in cold weather. The electric heating of the mirrors is switched on by the same button as the electric heating of the rear window (the button is located in the control unit for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system). At the same time, the orange indicator in the button lights up.
You can turn off the electric heating by pressing the power button again (the indicator will turn off). If this is not done within 10 minutes, the electric heating will turn off automatically.

It is not recommended to place any objects, car tuning elements, etc. in the viewing areas of the mirrors. This may impair visibility from the driver's seat and lead to dangerous situations while driving.
External rear-view mirrors have spherical surfaces, somewhat distorting the reflected space. They expand the view from the driver's seat, but objects and objects are seen in them in a reduced form compared to reality. The driver must take this into account when assessing the environment.
