SOLAR CELLS
The upper part of the sunroof
incorporates 21 solar cells that pro-
duce a maximum power of 24 W to
feed the climate control system fan,
when the car is parked with the sun-
roof closed or in pivoting position.
Fan actuation is automatic and air
distribution corresponds to the latest
setting made before switching the
car off.
This function is useful especially on
summer days, since it greatly
reduces the temperature inside the
passenger compartment as well as
the duration of the cooling cycle
after car start-up, thus avoiding the
accumulation of warm air in the air-
conditioning unit lines.
In winter, the ventilation function
reduces dampness inside the passen-
ger compartment.
EMERGENCY MANOEUVRE
In case the electric actuation device
fails to operate, the sunroof can be
actuated manually, proceeding as
follows:
1) Take the Allen screw wrench D
( fig. 191 ) out of the tool kit and use
it to actuate the sunroof in an emer-
gency.
2) Remove front ceiling light caps
A and B ( fig. 190 ) by levering with
a screwdriver on the outer side (the
caps are press-fitted).
3) Take out screws C ( fig. 191 )
and remove the ceiling light by
releasing it from the front clamps.
IMPORTANT Do not disconnect
the ceiling light connectors.
4) Insert the Allen screw wrench D
into the hexagonal seat of the sun-
roof starter motor, then turn it:
– clockwise to open the sunroof
– counterclockwise to close the
sunroof.
5) After completing the closing or
opening operation, put the ceiling
light back to its place by fitting in
the front clamps first and then fixing
the rear screws.
IMPORTANT When refitting the
ceiling light, check that the electric
cables are positioned correctly.
6) Press-fit the screw cover caps.
