¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and  
heed the WARNINGS  
Sun visor adjustment:  
Flip the sun visor down toward the windshield.  
Lift it out of the retaining clip fig. 88 (1) and swivel it over toward  
the door.  
Additional sun visor positions:  
On some vehicles, you can slide the sun visor towards the rear of  
the vehicle after swiveling it over to the door.  
Vanity mirror and lighting  
A vanity mirror is behind a cover in the sun visor. A light (3) may  
come on when you slide the cover (2) open.  
The light goes out when you shut the cover or if you flip the sun visor  
up again.  
The vanity mirror light and the interior light above the sun visor go  
out after several minutes. This helps to prevent unnecessary drain on  
the vehicle battery.  
Windshield made of heat-insulating glass  
Fig. 90 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 in-  
frared-reflecting coating. There is an uncoated area (communications  
window) just above the inside rearview mirror fig. 90. 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 compo-  
nents to malfunction.
