Internal Equipment

Sunroof

The sunroof is electrically controlled
and can only be operated with the
ignition key in the MAR (ON) position.
It can slide and be raised at the rear
(tilting).
The sunroof is equipped with a finger-
trap prevention system designed to
control sliding when the roof is being
closed or tilted. If an obstacle
interferes with the roof travel during
the closing stage, the sunroof stops
and reverses its travel a short way back.
WARNING: In the event of rain, always
close the sunroof to prevent the water
from staining the fabric/leather
upholstery.
A
Improper use of the sunroof
can however be dangerous,
even with the finger-trap
prevention system. Before and during
the sunroof operation, always make
sure that passengers are not exposed
to the risk of injuries caused both by
the moving roof and by personal
objects dragged or hit by the sunroof
itself. When you exit the vehicle,
always remove the ignition key to
avoid that the sunroof, if operated
inadvertently, becomes a danger for
passengers remaining onboard.
WARNING: Do not open the sunroof if
there is ice on it: risk of damage.
Opening and closing
The selector switch A controls all the
roof's movements.
There are 6 positions to open the
sliding roof and 3 three positions for
the tilted opening.
When the selector switch position has
been chosen, the sunroof moves until
it stops automatically in the position
chosen.
Upon opening the sunroof, a front flap
rises automatically in order to deflect
the air flow.
WARNING: If the guide needs to be
cleaned with solvents, the
mechanisms, Bowden cables and
sliding parts, such as the water channel
slide, must be then greased.
