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

Facility for afﬁ xing toll cards and/or

car park tickets.
These windows are located on each
side of the base of the child moni-
toring mirror.
They are two non-reﬂ ective areas of

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

of a reﬂ ective layer, which also

blocks certain radio-electric signals
(toll card payments, etc.).

  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 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 .

The visors are ﬁ tted with a locking sys-

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.
