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.

dazzle. Sliding blinds are provided for your
protection against bright sunlight.

sition by pushing at A
