Closing: Pull insect screen at the handle (Fig. 39,1) down and hang it into the
locking devices (Fig. 39,3) situated on both sides of the window frame.
Opening:
Press handle (Fig. 39,1) downwards and, at the same time, tilt it slightly
inward. The insect screen can be taken out of the locking devices situated
on both sides of the window frame.
Use handle to return the insect screen slowly to its initial position.
7.6 Skylights
Depending on the model, skylights with or without forced ventilation are fitted
to the vehicle. If a skylight is fitted without forced ventilation, the forced venti-
lation is performed using mushroom-shaped vents.
The apertures for forced ventilation must always be kept open. Never
cover or block forced ventilations with objects such as e.g. a winter mat.
Keep forced ventilations clear of snow and leaves.
The skylights are fitted with a blind or Roman shade and an insect screen.
After the latch has been released, the blind and insect screen automatically
spring back to the initial position by tensile force. In order not to damage
the tension mechanics, hold onto the blind or insect screen and allow it to
slowly return to the initial position.
If the blind or the Roman shade is completely closed, exposure to direct
sunlight can cause heat to accumulate between the blind/the Roman shade
and the skylight. The skylight could be damaged. For that reason, close the
blind/Roman shade only 2/3 of the way in direct sunlight. Open the skylight
slightly or move it to ventilation position.
Depending on the weather, close the skylights far enough to prevent mois-
ture from entering.
Do not climb on the skylights.
Before commencing the journey, close the skylights.
Before commencing the journey, check that the skylights are closed and
locked.
Apply talc to the rubber seals of the skylights at least once a year.
When leaving the vehicle, always close the skylights.
