Adjusting Active seat* 1 The seat cushion is actively varied by alternately raising and lowering the right and left half of the seat cushion. This reduces muscular tension and fatigue to help prevent lower back pain. Press the button to switch on; the LED lights up. The action of the system is reduced and if need be, switched off in order to reduce the load on the battery. The LED remains lit. If you switch off the active seat, it can take up to 1 minute before the two halves of the seat cushion have returned to their initial position. 2 3 Adjusting Switching to the other mirror or to the automatic curb monitor Folding mirrors in and out* Storing the mirror positions, refer to Seat, mirror and steering wheel memory on page 45. Adjusting manually The mirrors can also be adjusted manually: press the edge of the glass. Folding mirrors in and out* Pressing button 3 allows you to fold the mirrors in and out again up to a speed of approx. 12 mph/20 km/h. This is advantageous, for example, in car washes, narrow streets or for bringing mirrors that have been manually folded in back into the correct position. Folded in mirrors fold out again at a speed of approx. 25 mph/40 km/h. Before going through a car wash, fold the mirrors in manually, or with button 3, otherwise they could be damaged, depending on the width of the car wash system.< Mirrors Exterior mirrors The mirror on the passenger's side is more curved than the driver's mirror. Objects reflected in the mirror are closer than they appear. Do not estimate the distance of following traffic based on what you see in the mirrors; otherwise, there is an increased risk of accident.< Automatic heating Below a certain outdoor temperature, both exterior mirrors are automatically heated when the motor is running or the ignition is switched on. 52 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 2 602 756 - © 06/09 BMW AG
