Fig. 70 Heat-reflective windshield with communications window (blue shaded area).  
Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS  
.
Windshields made of insulating glass have a transparent metallic infrared-reflecting coating. There is  
an uncoated area (communications window) just above the inside rearview mirror ⇒ꢀfig. 70. This  
serves as a communications window for transmitting signals to and from electronic components and  
accessories.  
The uncoated area must not be blocked on the inside or outside or covered with stickers because this  
can cause the electronic components to malfunction.
