ELECTRIC SUN ROOF

The electric sun roof comprises two glass panels (the front one is mobile and the rear one fixed) and is fitted with two manually operated sun blinds. Operation of the sun roof is only possible with the ignition device at MAR.

OPENING

Press button A fig. 38: the roof will open up completely. The automatic motion can be interrupted in any position by pressing button A again.

CLOSING

From the position of complete opening pull button A fig. 38: the roof will close completely. The automatic motion can be interrupted in any position by pressing button A again.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

SWIVEL OPENING

To bring the roof into "swivel" position, press and release button B fig. 38. This type of swivel-opening can be activated irrespective of the position of the sun roof. When starting with the roof in closed position, pressing the button automatically causes its swivel-opening. If the roof is already open, the button must be held until the roof reaches the swivel-opening position. Pressing button B again during automatic movement of the roof will stop it.

SUN BLIND MOVEMENT

The blind is manually-operated: it can be stopped in any position.

ANTI-PINCH DEVICE

The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety system capable of detecting the presence of an obstacle during the closing movement: if this happens, the system intervenes and the movement of the roof is immediately reversed into opening.

EMERGENCY OPERATION

If the control buttons fail to operate, the sun roof can be moved manually, proceeding as described below:

  • Remove protective cap A fig. 39 on the internal trim;
  • Take Allen key B provided;
  • Place Allen key B into housing A;
  • Turn Allen key B in a clockwise direction to open the roof or in an anticlockwise direction to close it.

INITIALISATION PROCEDURE

After irregular behaviour of the sun roof or an emergency manoeuvre (see description in the previous paragraph), the automatic operation of the sun roof must be initialised again. Proceed as follows:

  • Press button A fig. 38 to bring the roof into completely closed position;
  • Bring the ignition device to STOP and wait at least 10 seconds;
  • Bring the ignition device to MAR;
  • Hold button A down for at least 10 seconds, then you should hear the mechanical stop of the roof motor;
  • Within 5 seconds hold button A down: the roof will perform a complete automatic opening and closing cycle (to indicate that the initialisation procedure has been successful). If this does not occur, the procedure must be restarted from the beginning.
