WIND DEFLECTOR
*
With the convertible top open, the wind
deflector keeps air movement in the pas-
senger compartment to a minimum, thus
providing you with a pleasant drive, even at
higher speeds. The wind deflector comes
folded in a protective pouch and can be
stored in the luggage compartment.
Do not allow the wind deflector to
come into contact with sharp objects,
as the net could otherwise be damaged. Do
not place any objects on the installed wind
deflector. When storing the wind deflector
in the luggage compartment, make sure
that it cannot be damaged by other
objects.
