Infrared reflective windshield
The infrared reflecting glass prevents the vehicle interior from becoming too hot. It also blocks radio waves up into the gigahertz range.

Vehicles without Night View Assist Plus
1 Areas permeable to radio waves (to the
left and right of the rain sensor cover)
2 Rain sensor cover
3 Areas permeable to radio waves

Vehicles with Night View Assist Plus
1 Area permeable to radio waves (to the left
of the rain sensor cover)
2 Rain sensor cover
3 Areas permeable to radio waves
In order to operate radio-controlled equipment, e.g. toll recording systems, areas 1 or 3 on the windshield are permeable to radio waves. In these areas, you can install radio-controlled systems.
These areas can best be seen from outside the vehicle by observing the light reflected off the windshield.
