ment. The windscreen and the side windows*
have laminated glass.
Water and dirt-repellent coating*
The front side windows are treated
with a surface coating that improves
the view in difficult weather condi-
tions. Maintenance, see page 388.

Heat-reflecting windscreen*
Areas where IR film is not applied.
Dimensions
A 47 mm
B 87 mm
The windscreen is equipped with a heat-
reflecting film (IR) that reduces the solar heat
radiation into the passenger compartment.
The positioning of electronic equipment, such
as a transponder, behind a glass surface with
heat-reflecting film may affect its function and
performance.
For the optimal function of electronic equip-
ment, it should be positioned on the part of
the windscreen with no heat-reflecting film
(see the highlighted area in the above illustra-
tion).
Power windows
Driver's door control panel.
Switch for electric child safety locks* and
disengaging rear power window buttons,
see page 59.

WARNING
Check that none of the rear seat passen-
gers is in danger of becoming trapped in
any way when closing the windows from
the driver's door.
