Mirrors

The mirrors on the Citroën C6 combine technology and comfort. The automatic dimming rear-view mirror adapts to the ambient light and returns to full brightness when reversing for better visibility. The electrically adjustable outside mirrors feature a reverse position memory, heated glass, and can be folded in manually or automatically. A special safety function is the automatic adjustment when reverse gear is engaged, to better see the kerb. The precise adjustment provides optimum visibility on every journey.

Automatic dimming rear-view mirror
