Purpose and function in the vehicle

This Mercedes ML W166 interior rearview mirror is a rearview mirror mounted in the rear of the cabin. It provides a clear field of view to the rear and works in conjunction with the interior lighting to improve comfort when driving at night.

• factory fit with the headliner and ceiling console,
• maintaining the original ergonomics of operation,

The mirror combines the functionality of a standard rearview mirror with an interior lighting module. This solution allows for convenient use of the ceiling light without interfering with the headliner structure. The manufacturer's design provides:

• stable attachment to the factory mounting point,
• appropriately selected reflective surface for good rear visibility,
• consistent design with the stylistic line of the Mercedes ML W166 interior.

The greige colour scheme allows for a uniform cabin appearance, especially in versions with light interior trim.

• a reasonable compromise between cost and quality.
