Automatic photochromic
interior rear view mirror
It modifies 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 definition.
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.
