Vent Frame, Checking

Vent Frame, Checking

• In this illustration, the ventilation frames are depicted with rear bumper removed.





• For forced air extraction, one ventilation frame - A - each is installed on left and right.

• To ensure sealing lips - B - close correctly, vent frame - A - must be installed on the correct side.

• To ensure proper function of passenger compartment ventilation, vent openings - B - in luggage compartment trim on left and right must not be sealed.





• To enable air to flow from the vent openings - B - to the vent frames - A -, nothing may be placed in the space between the fender and luggage compartment lining.

• Air from passenger compartment flows e.g. for the sedan via vent slots in the rear shelf and through slots in the upper lining into the luggage compartment.

• Blocked channels or jammed sealing lips may cause windows to fog up.

- Check ventilation channels from the left and right vent openings - B - to the two ventilation frames - A - in the luggage compartment for throughput.

- With the rear bumper removed, check the sealing lips - B - in ventilation frames - A -; they must move freely and close by themselves.
