Function and Replacement Tips
Side mirrors on Citroën C5 models are prone to wear from impacts, weather conditions, and electrical component failure, especially the folding motor and heating elements. Regular inspection is recommended as damaged or faulty mirrors can compromise safety and legal compliance. The electrically folding feature helps to extend the mirror’s lifespan by reducing accidental knocks.
Replacement typically involves removing the door panel interior trim to access the mounting and electrical connectors. Disconnect the old mirror carefully to avoid damaging wiring harnesses. Installation of the new mirror requires reversing this procedure, ensuring all electrical functions operate correctly before completing the job.
