ꢀ 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 and swivel it over toward the door ⇒ꢀfig. 88 (1).

Vanity mirror and lighting

A vanity mirror is behind a cover in the sun visor. When the cover is slid open (2), the light (3) lights

up.

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. 89 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. 89. 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.
