Pinch Protect Feature; Wind Buffeting; Emergency Operation - Fiat 500 2016 User Manual

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
To Close
With the sunroof in the full open position, pull the power sunroof button and hold it for
approximately one second, the sunroof will return to the vented position. Pull the switch
a second time and hold for approximately one second to completely close the sunroof.

Pinch Protect Feature

This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Express
Close operation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof will
automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if this occurs. Next, push the switch for-
ward and release to Express Close.

Wind Buffeting

Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressure on the ears or a
helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the win-
dows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions. This
is a normal occurrence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear win-
dows open, open the front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the
buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the buf-
feting or open any window.

Emergency Operation

In case of electrical failure, the sunroof can be operated with the hex wrench that is lo-
cated in the glove compartment. There is a plug located in the rear of the sunroof open-
ing at the center of the vehicle. Removing the plug reveals a hex opening in the motor
assembly of the sunroof. Insert the hex wrench and turn, moving the sunroof to the de-
sired location.
Sun Shade — If Equipped
For vehicles equipped with either a power sunroof or a fixed glass roof, there is a sun
shade that can be open or closed. To open the sun shade, push the tab and move the
shade to a full open position.
