Infrared reflecting windshield*
1 Infrared transparent areas
Your vehicle is equipped with infrared re-
flecting glass, which reduces the amount
of radiated heat entering the vehicle interi-
or through the windows.
The infrared reflecting glass also prevents
the transmission of signals through the
glass by in-vehicle electronic devices (e.g.
electronic toll collection devices).
To allow the use of these devices in the ve-
hicle, infrared transparent areas are
placed in the windshield.
Warning!
G
Whenever you are using floormats, make
sure there is enough clearance and that the
floormats are securely fastened.
Floormats should always be securely fas-
tened using eyelets 2 and retainer pins 1.
Before driving off, check that the floormats
are securely in place and adjust them if nec-
essary. A loose floormat could slip and
hinder proper function of the pedals.
i
To install or remove the floormats more
easily, move the driver’s seat or front
passenger seat as far to the rear as
possible (
