SLIDING SUN VISOR
Sliding blinds
Visor rails
The blinds are extended on the sun
visor rails.
Fold the visor downwards, to protect
against dazzle to the face.
If dazzle is coming from the side
windows, detach the visor from its
housing above the centre of the
windscreen and pivot it to the side. Do not attach or suspend heavy
objects on the slide rail of the sun
blind.
TOLL CARD/CAR PARK TICKET WINDOWS
F a c i l i t y f o r a f fi x i n g t o l l c a r d s a n d / o r

These windows are located on each
side of the base of the child moni-
toring mirror.
T h e y a r e t w o n o n - r e fl e c t i v e a r e a s o f
the athermic windscreen.
CHILD MONITORING
MIRROR
The athermic windscreen limits
heating of the passenger compart-
ment by reducing the effects of the
sun's rays (ultra-violet). It consists
o f a r e fl e c t i v e l a y e r , w h i c h a l s o
blocks certain radio-electric signals
(toll card payments, etc.). A child monitoring mirror is installed
above the interior rear view mirror.
This allows you to monitor the vehi-
cle’s rear passengers, or it can facili-
tate conversation between the front
and rear passengers without the need
to move the rear view mirror.
It can be folded away to eliminate
dazzle.
Sliding blinds are provided for your
protection against bright sunlight.
They can be adjusted manually.
Slide the blind on the visor to the
desired position by pushing the
area A . T h e v i s o r s a r e fi t t e d w i t h a l o c k i n g s y s -
tem on their central housing when the
blind is rolled up. To remove the visor
from its central housing or reposition it,
it must be in a vertical position.

seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position both in the
front and in the rear.
