Abstract
A vehicle comprising a radar system for surveillance of a side and rear area and a rearview mirror unit mounted on the outside of the vehicle body. The antenna reflector of the radar has a light-transmissible structure and is received in the frame of the rearview mirror unit so as to be spaced rearwards from the mirror and to protrude sidewise from the outline of the vehicle body. This antenna arrangement is most appropriate to side-rear lookout and is favorable to the appearance of the vehicle.
