Volkswagen Polo Owners Manual: Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
→ Interior mirror
→ Exterior mirrors
For safety reasons it is important that the driver positions the exterior and
interior mirrors correctly before starting a journey .
You can use the exterior mirrors and the interior mirror to observe traffic behind
you and adjust driving style accordingly. Looking in the exterior mirrors and the
interior mirror does not allow the driver to see the entre side and rear area of
the vehicle. The area that cannot be seen is known as the blind spot. There may
be objects and other road users in the blind spot.
Additional information and warnings:
- Adjusting the seat position
- Braking, stopping and parking

WARNING
Adjusting the exterior and interior mirrors while driving may cause the driver to
become distracted. This can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
- Exterior and interior mirrors should only be adjusted when the vehicle is
stationary.
- When parking, changing lane, overtaking or turning, always pay careful attention
to the area around the vehicle, as there may be objects and other road users
in the blind spot.
- Always ensure that the mirrors are positioned correctly and that the rear
view is not restricted by ice, snow, condensation or any other objects.

WARNING
Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors contain an electrolyte fluid which could leak if the
mirror is broken.
- The leaking electrolyte fluid can cause irritation to the skin, eyes and
respiratory organs, especially in people who suffer from asthma or similar illnesses.
Immediately ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air and get out
of the vehicle. If this is not possible, open all of the windows and doors.
- If the electrolyte fluid gets into the eyes or onto the skin, immediately
wash the area with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
- If the electrolyte fluid gets onto shoes or clothing, wash immediately with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Clean shoes and clothes thoroughly
before wearing them again.
- If the electrolyte fluid is swallowed, immediately rinse the mouth with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed
to do so by a doctor. Seek medical assistance immediately.

NOTICE
If the glass of an automatic anti-dazzle mirror is broken, electrolyte fluid can
leak from the mirror. This fluid corrodes plastic surfaces. Remove the fluid as
soon as possible, e.g. using a wet sponge.
