7.6 Ventilation<br />
The oxygen in the vehicle interior is used up by breathing or the use of<br />
the gas cooker or other appliances. That is why the oxygen needs to be<br />
replaced on a constant basis. For this purpose, forced ventilation options<br />
(skylights with forced ventilation or mushroom-shaped vents) are fitted<br />
to the vehicle. Never cover or block forced ventilations with objects such<br />
as e.g. a winter mat. Keep forced ventilations clear of snow and leaves.<br />
There is a danger of suffocation due to increased CO 2 levels.<br />
Although sufficient ventilation is provided, in certain weather conditions,<br />
<br />
condensation can form on metal objects (e.g. screwed connections in the<br />
floor).<br />
Additional cold spots can occur at thermal "bridges" (e.g. mushroomshaped<br />
vents, skylight edges, sockets, filler necks, flaps,<br />
<br />
etc.).<br />
Condensation<br />
Ensure that there is a continuous exchange of air by providing frequent and<br />
efficient ventilation. This is the only method for ensuring that condensation is<br />
not formed during cool weather. During the colder season, a pleasant living climate<br />
is created if heating output, air distribution and ventilation are synchronized.<br />
To avoid draft close the air outlet nozzles on the dashboard and set the<br />
air distribution of the base vehicle to air circulation. If the vehicle is laid up for<br />
a longer period, occasionally ventilate it well, especially in summer as heat<br />
accumulation can occur.<br />
7.7 Windows<br />
The windows are fitted with a blind and an insect screen. After the latch has<br />
<br />
been released, the blind and insect screen automatically spring back to the<br />
initial position by tensile force. In order not to damage the tension<br />
mechanics, hold onto the blind or insect screen and allow it to slowly return<br />
to the initial position.<br />
Do not keep blinds closed over a longer period of time as that can cause<br />
<br />
increased material wear.<br />
If the blind is completely closed, exposure to direct sunlight can cause heat<br />
<br />
to accumulate between the blind and the glass window. The window could<br />
be damaged. For that reason, close the blind only 2/3 of the way in direct<br />
sunlight.<br />
Before commencing the journey, close the windows.<br />
<br />
Depending on the weather, close the windows far enough to prevent mois-<br />
<br />
ture from entering.<br />
To open and close the hinged window, open or close all catch levers which<br />
<br />
are fitted to the hinged window.<br />
When leaving the vehicle, always close the windows.<br />
In extreme weather conditions or if the temperature fluctuates strongly, a<br />
light condensation film can form on the double-glazed acrylic glass. The<br />
glass is designed in such a way that condensation can evaporate when the<br />
external temperature increases. There is no danger of the double-glazed<br />
acrylic glass being damaged by condensation.<br />
