7.4.7 Roman shades for windscreen, driver's window and front

passenger's window

Closing: On the Roman shade for the windscreen, push the locking knobs

(Fig. 58,1) upwards or downwards. If the red dot is visible, the lock is open.

Grasp the handle (Fig. 58,2 and Fig. 59,2) of the Roman shades and draw

carefully until the magnetic catch keeps the Roman shades closed.

Opening:

Using the handle, carefully push back the Roman shades.

On the Roman shade for the windscreen, push the locking knobs upwards

or downwards. As long as the red dot is visible, the lock is open.

On the Roman shades for the driver's and passenger's window, push the

handle (Fig. 59,2) onto the cap (Fig. 59,1). The Roman shade is secured.

7.5 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 with an insect

screen or folding 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. The Roman

shade and folding insect screen are made of thin woven fabric. In order not

to damage the Roman shade or the insect screen, grasp the respective

handle and carefully return it to the initial position.

Do not keep blinds closed over a longer period of time as that can cause

increased material wear.

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.
