Taustapeilissä on lte-yhteys, joka on kytketty yhtiön telematiikkapalveluun. Peililaajennuksen kautta kuljettaja saa tietoa liikenteestä, säästä ja uutisista sekä pystyy navigoimaan. Tiedot näkyvät puoliksi peilaavalle viiden tuuman lcd-kosketusnäytölle. Peilissä on sisäänrakennettu laajakulmainen kamera, joka tallentaa kuvaa ajosta. Kamerassa on myös turvallisen ajamisen palvelu, joka analysoi auton etuosan liikkeitä ja tunnistaa mahdollisia uhkia. Tunnistaessaan vaaran näytölle ilmestyy varoitus.
