Wind screen
General notes
The wind screen offers protection from the
wind when driving with the roof down.
G WARNING
You could lose control of the vehicle and
injure yourself or others if you operate the
wind screen while driving.
Install or remove the wind screen only when
the vehicle is stationary.
G WARNING
If you use the wind screen in darkness or in
other conditions offering poor visibility, your
view to the rear is further impaired. As a result
of the visibility impairment, you could cause
an accident and injure yourself or others.
For this reason, remove the wind screen as
soon as it is dark or if your vision is otherwise
restricted.
G WARNING
If the wind screen is not correctly engaged, it
may break free and thus obstruct traffic
behind you or lead to an accident.
Each time before driving with the roof down,
check that the wind screen is properly
engaged.
! Install or remove the wind screen only
when the roof is open. You could otherwise
damage the wind screen or the vehicle
interior.
The wind screen can be installed or removed
from the driver's side or passenger side.
Perform operations involving the wind screen
preferably on the side facing away from
traffic, after you have stopped the vehicle,
paying attention to road and traffic
conditions.
