Child surveillance mirror
The athermic windscreen limits
heating of the passenger compart-
ment by reducing the effects of the
sun's rays (ultra-violet). It consists of
a refl ective layer, which also blocks
certain radio-electric signals (auto-
matic toll card payments, etc.). A child surveillance mirror is fi tted
above the rear view mirror. This al-
lows 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 mirror.
It can be folded away to eliminate
dazzle. Sliding blinds are provided for your
protection against bright sunlight.
They can be adjusted manually.
