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

If the vehicle is so equipped, demisting/defrosting of the heated door mirrors is performed when the heated rear screen is switched on.

For more information on Rear screen demisting/defrosting, refer to the corresponding section.

Interior rear view mirror

Equipped with an anti-dazzle system, which darkens the mirror glass and reduces the nuisance to the driver caused by the sun, headlamps of other vehicles, etc.

Manual model

Day/night position

• Pull the lever to change to the anti-dazzle "night” position.
• Push the lever to change to the normal "day" position.

Adjustment

• Set the mirror to the normal “day” position.

Automatic "electrochrome" model

This system automatically and progressively transitions between day and night modes, using a sensor that measures the light entering from the rear of the vehicle.

To ensure optimum visibility during your manoeuvres, the mirror lightens automatically when reverse gear is engaged.
