Automatic photochromic interior rear view mirror
It modifi es its role automatically and progressively between day use and night use.

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).
