### Sun Films / Window Tints – RTO Compliance Advisory
**3M Crystalline, LLumar IR Series, Garware**
The Citroën C4's spacious cabin and large glass area make sun protection essential. However, all installations must comply with Indian regulations.

| Glass Type | Minimum VLT Requirement |
|:---|:---|
| Front Windscreen | 70% |
