If

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
manufacjturer
or
another
qualified
Service
Partner
or
a
specialist
workshop.
