ANTI-CRUSHING SAFETY
SYSTEM
The anti-crushing safety system fitted on
the front curtain outline is active during
horizontal closing (front edge) and ver-
tical closing of the panel (rear edge) and
it will cut in when it finds an obstacle
(e.g.: finger, hand, etc ...), thus guar-
anteeing sunroof reversal for a short sec-
tion.
When an obstacle is found, sunroof
stroke is stopped immediately and its
stroke is reversed to the preset position:
❒ during horizontal closing it is active
along the whole stroke of the sunroof
and when it finds an obstacle on the
front side of the pane it guarantees
a 10 cm stroke reversal;
❒ during vertical closing it is active
along the whole stroke of the sunroof
and when it finds an obstacle on the
rear side of the pane it guarantees
stroke reversal.
