11.2.3 Window shades
The passenger compartment interior luminosity can be modified by means of two window
shades: one for the front mobile panel, one for the fixed rear panel. The window shades are
made of polyester: each of them slides and can be rolled up along sliding guides, thus
preventing the guides from being detached. They can be opened manually and be either fully
closed or opened (no intermediate positions). The window shade closing is independent from
the front panel opening position.
11.3 Sunroof closing anti-pinch feature
The antipinch system, managed by the electronic control unit, conforms to the requirements of
EC Directive 2000/4 and comes into action during horizontal and vertical closing of the front
panel when an obstacle (e.g. finger, hand, etc.) is found:
as far as the horizontal closing motion is concerned, the system is active over the entire travel
(if the glass is opened for more than 4 mm): when an obstacle is found on the front side of the
glass panel, it reverses the glass motion over a distance of 100 mm from the point where the
motion has been reversed;
as far as the vertical closing motion is concerned, the system is active over the entire travel (if
the glass is opened for more than 4 mm from the gasket edge): when an obstacle is found on
the rear side of the glass panel, it reverses the glass motion until the compass opening
position is reached.

In both cases, the load that causes motion inversion is less than 100 N, as laid down by the
EC Directive 2000/4. Possible pinching from the vehicle interior in the panel side zones is
avoided by making use of side guards that prevent the hazard zones from being reached.
