Fiamma awning control unit

[Dribyks]

I have a 2015 Grand Tour ext Mercedes sprinter and it has this Fiamma awning, every time I extend it, the slightest breeze causes it to retract. According to its manual there is a control unit where you can adjust the sensitivity of the seismic sensor. Simple enough to do if you could just find it. Is there anyone who knows where it’s located?

It’s located in the space between the interior ceiling and the van roof in the large rear overhead storage area. Need to remove 8 - 10 screws to access

Thanks so much, I’ll check it out

In our 15 lounge the awning adjustment is found behind the control panel. Remove the screws and slide the panel front to the side.
Behind several wires you should be able to see the sticker on the black Fiamma control unit.
Take the screw out of the top and look at the back of it for the little white dial. It should be pointing to number five, which is the factory default setting.
Moving the arrow to a higher number makes the sensor less sensitive to wind. In this picture you can see I set ours to number seven.

Thank you, that’s where it was.

Ok, so on my 2016 GT I have pulled the gauge cluster and it isn’t there (suspect that is when it is a Lounge), and I pulled most of the screws in the back overhead compartment- enough to pull it down in front and nothing up there either.

Next guess? Maybe passenger seat base?
