Abstract

A sun visor (10.1) for a vehicle, having a holding unit (12.1) which can be fastened to the interior, and an antidazzle unit (14.1) which is arranged on the holding unit (12.1), has a visor body (16.1) of essentially planar design and can be moved, for antidazzle purposes, from a retracted position into a functional position, the sun visor being arranged in particular between a driver's sun visor and a front-passenger's sun visor, is distinguished in that the visor body (16.1) has at least one moveable surface unit (18.1) which increases the surface of the visor body (16.1), when the visor body (16.1) is moved from the retracted position to the functional position, and conversely reduces the surface of the visor body (16.1) when it is moved from the functional position into the retracted position.
