The exterior mirrors are located on the front doors of the car. They can be equipped with mechanical adjustment devices or an electric drive.
The lever for mechanical adjustment of the mirror position is located on the inside of the corresponding door
By pressing this lever up, down, forward or backward, we adjust the position of the reflective element of the mirror in the horizontal and vertical directions.
The power mirror adjustment unit is located on the inside of the driver's door.

To adjust the position of the left mirror, move the switch to the L position, to adjust the right mirror - to the R position. Then, by pressing the arrows of the joystick located above it, adjust the position of the reflective element of the corresponding mirror in the horizontal and vertical directions. After completing the adjustment, move the "L - R" switch to the middle position.
When driving in tight spaces, in tight parking spaces and in other similar conditions, the exterior mirror housings can be folded manually.

...or using an electric drive (installed on parts of cars). In this case, the mirror folding button, marked with a special pictogram, is located on the electric mirror adjustment unit.
The reflective elements of the exterior mirrors are equipped with heating threads that prevent fogging and icing of the mirrors in cold weather. The electrically heated mirrors are switched on by the same button as the electrically heated rear window (the button is located in the control unit of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system of the passenger compartment). 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 go out). If this is not done within 10 minutes, the electric heating will turn off automatically. This is necessary to prevent the battery from discharging (heating elements are very powerful consumers of electricity). For the same reason, it is not recommended to turn on the heating elements when the engine is not running and the ignition is on. The interior rearview mirror is installed in the middle of the upper part of the windshield on a bracket that is glued to the windshield with a special high-strength adhesive.
...or on a special bracket (shown by arrow), in the body of which a rain sensor is located.
The position of the interior rear-view mirror can be adjusted horizontally and vertically by rotating the mirror housing on the hinge.
When driving at night, the interior mirror can be set to the "night" position to reduce the blinding light from headlights of cars driving behind you. For this.
...we move the control lever at the bottom of the mirror (shown by arrow) on yourself.
This changes the angle of reflection of the mirror and the blinding effect is reduced.
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.
The exterior rearview mirrors have spherical surfaces that somewhat distort the reflected space. They expand the view from the driver's seat, but objects and items are seen in them in a reduced form compared to reality. The driver must take this into account when assessing the surrounding environment.
