Automatic photochromic interior rear view mirror
It modifi es its role automatically and progressively between day use and night use.
In order to prevent dazzle, the glass automatically darkens as a func-tion of the intensity of light coming from behind. It lightens as this di-minishes, thus giving you optimum visibility.
Operation
With the ignition on, press on con-trol 1. - Warning lamp 2 on : automatic mode. - Warning lamp 2 off : end of auto-matic mode. The glass remains in its lightest defi nition.
Note : For optimum visibility, the glass lightens automatically when you engage reverse gear.
The lever on the bottom edge of the interior rear view mirror enables it to be placed in two positions :
Day position : the lever is not visible.
Night position (anti-dazzle) : the lever is visible.
Permit reader
The athermic windscreen comprises a zone situated on either side of the base of the child mirror, to enable access permits to be read (e.g. mo-torway toll permit).
Child mirror
A child monitoring mirror is installed above the interior rear view mir-ror. This allows you to monitor the vehicle’s rear passengers, or it can facilitate conversation between the front and rear passengers without the need to move the rear view mir-ror. It can be folded away to elimi-nate dazzle.
