5.4 Sun awning *
As an option, your van can be tted with an awning attached
to the roof.
• An awning oers protection from the sun, not against the
elements.
• Do not place people or obstacles in the extension/retrac-
tion area of the awning.
• The awning winding mechanism is tted with a mechanical
block control to limit the extent to which it can be exten-
ded. Never attempt to exceed the block control by force.
• Always support the awning with the integrated struts when
extended.
• The awning must always be completely retracted and
secured before driving.
Extending
• Insert the hook on the crank into the grommet on the win-
ding mechanism.
• Hold the crank with one hand on the upper twist grip and
the other on the lower twist grip. During the operating
procedure gently pull the crank towards you and hold it as
vertically in the grommet as possible.
• Turn the connecting rod clockwise until the awning has been
rolled out about 1 m.
• Unfold the telescopic rods on the inside of the drop tube
and use them to support the awning.
• Only then should you roll out the awning to the desired
position.
• Remove the crank.
Retracting
• Insert the hook on the crank into the grommet on the win-
ding mechanism.
• Turn the connecting rod counter-clockwise until the awning
has been rolled in except for the last meter.
• Retract the telescopic rods, fold them up and secure them.
• Only then should you roll in the awning completely and
secure it.
• Remove the crank and store it in the vehicle.
