6.2 Installing the DRS
There are two ways of installing the system:
• Making a new opening (chapter “Making a new opening” on page 11). In this
case the opening must be reinforced by an appropriate frame.
• Using the existing roof hatch openings in the vehicle (chapter “Installing in an
existing opening” on page 12).
Making a new opening
➤ Select an area on the roof between two longitudinal supports.
➤ Mark the position and size of the opening. A 285 x 285 mm opening is recom-
mended but can be as large as 400 x 400 mm.
➤ Drill out the corners (A).
➤ Carefully cut out the opening on the roof using a jigsaw or a similar tool (B).
➤ Make sure no electrical power cables are damaged.
➤ Before installation, check whether the roof hole needs reinforcing.
➤ Use battens to create a frame around the cutout made in the roof.
➤ If needed, remove the insulation foam according to the width of your reinforcing
battens (not in scope of delivery).
➤ Fit the reinforcing battens.
