Special windscreen
The windscreen is an integral part of the system.
The shape of the windscreen enables a sharp
image to be projected.
A film in the windscreen prevents the projection
of double images.
Therefore if the special windscreen needs to be
replaced, it is strongly recommended that this be
carried out by a Service Partner of the manufac‐
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop.
