Peugeot 308: Mirrors

Door mirrors

Demisting/Defrosting

The demisting/defrosting of the door mirrors works with the demisting/ defrosting of the rear screen.

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

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

Depending on equipment, the door mirrors can be folded electrically.

► From the inside, with the ignition on, place control A in the central position.

► Pull control A backwards.

► Lock the vehicle from the outside.

If the mirrors are folded using control A, they will not unfold when the vehicle is unlocked.

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 folding/unfolding of the door mirrors is configured in the Settings > Vehicle touch screen application.

Before using an automatic car wash, fold the mirrors.

Automatic tilting in reverse gear

Depending on version, this function allows you to automatically tilt the mirrors downwards to assist with parking manoeuvres in reverse gear.

With the engine running, on engaging reverse gear, the mirror glasses tilt downwards.

They each return to their original positions:

• A few seconds after coming out of reverse gear.
• Once the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
• When the engine is switched off.

It can be activated/deactivated in the Settings > Vehicle touch screen application.

Electrochrome interior rear view mirror

The electrochrome system uses a sensor that detects the level of exterior brightness and that coming from the rear of the vehicle, in order to automatically and gradually switch between day and night usage.

To ensure optimum visibility while manoeuvring, the mirror automatically brightens when reverse gear is engaged.

The system is inoperative if the load in the boot exceeds the height of the load space cover or if the load space cover has items placed on it.
