The insect screen is located in the upper blind box.
Closing: Pull the insect screen (Fig. 21,2) down until it touches the blind (Fig. 21,5)
and the closure latch (Fig. 21,1) engages in the locking device (Fig. 21,3).
Opening:
Release both locks (Fig. 21,3) simultaneously.
Slowly return insect screen into its initial position.
7.8 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 ventilation
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 Roman shade and an insect screen. After the
latch has been released, the insect screen automatically springs back to
the initial position by tensile force. In order not to damage the tension
mechanics, hold onto the insect screen and allow it to slowly return to the
initial position.
If the Roman shade is completely closed, heat can accumulate between
the Roman shade and the glass windows when exposed to direct sunlight.
The skylight could be damaged. For that reason, close the Roman shade
only 2/3 of the way in direct sunlight. Open the skylight slightly or move it
to ventilation position.
