Snow screen
VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN
I f fi t t e d o n y o u r v e h i c l e , t h i s i s a
removable part which permits complete
or partial covering of the front air intake
(grille, ...) to favour the increase in the

the entry of snow into the engine
compartment. FITTING
- Offer up the screen facing its
centring pin A on the front bumper.
- Put it in place by pressing at each clip B located in the four corners.
REMOVAL
- Pass a screwdriver into the hole located near each of the clips.
- Use the screwdriver as a lever to unclip the four clips B in turn.
When the snow has cleared, do not
forget to remove the very cold climate
screen.
