Peugeot 2008: Ease of use and comfort / Mirrors
Door mirrors
As a safety measure, the
mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spots".
The objects that you see in the mirrors are in fact closer than they
appear.
Take this into account in order to correctly judge the distance of
vehicles approaching from behind.
Adjustment
- Move control A to the right or to the left to select the
corresponding mirror.
- Move control B in any of the four directions to adjust.
- Return control A to its central position.
Manual folding
The mirrors can be folded manually (parking obstruction, narrow garage, etc.).
- Turn the mirror towards the vehicle.
Electric folding
If the vehicle is so equipped, the mirrors can be folded electrically from
the inside, with the vehicle parked and the ignition on:
- Place control A in
the centre position.
- Pull control A back.
- Lock the vehicle from the outside.
Electric unfolding
- From outside: unlock the vehicle.
- From inside: with the ignition on, place control A in the central
position and then pull it rearwards.
The automatic door mirror
folding/unfolding function is configured via the Driving / Vehicle touch screen
menu.
Demisting/Defrosting
