Sunroof (optional)
The sunroof is electrically controlled
and can only be operated with the
ignition key in the MAR position. It can
slide lengthways and be raised at the
rear (tilting).
The sunroof is equipped with a finger-
trap prevention system that controls
lengthways 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 water
infiltrations from staining the fabric/
leather upholstery.
Improper use of the sunroof
can however be dangerous,
even if the finger-trap
prevention system is fitted. 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 lengthways 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 deviate
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.
