See comment below... Explanation: Yes, it means slide back = to slide in a backwards direction; they could have said 'slide back the shade' and 'swing up' means to hinge it in an upwards sense; presumably the shade is relatively flexible, which is why they would use 'swing' instead of 'hinge', which sounds more appropriate for a rigid item. I guess the idea is you have to lift the shade up and out of the way so you can get behind it! |
