Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / measurement report
Dutch term or phrase: fixatie
"Uitzicht vlak voor de bus en bereikbaarheid zonwering
...
- Op voorruit en linker zijruit, goed bereikbaar en instelbaar, goed werkende *fixatie* en ontgrendeling"

This term appears in a measurement report for a city bus and relates to the positioning/functioning of a sun visor for drivers. Should 'fixatie' be understood here to mean 'lock'? RSVP.

Cheers,

agree  Jack den Haan: Even 'positioning' would get the meaning across IMHO, and might be easier to adopt in the given context.
