pg. 43 Sun roof (option) - C70 Coupe
Electrically operated sun roof
The switch for operating the sun roof is located on the instrument panel. The starting
(ignition) key must first be turned to the drive position (position II). The sun roof is also equipped with a one -touch,
AUTO-open function.
· AUTO-open: Press the lower section of the switch once to automatically open the sun roof.
The AUTO-open function can be stopped at any time by pressing the switch.
· To close the sun roof : Depress the upper section of the switch until the sun roof has closed completely.
ProCarManuals.com
· To open the rear edge of the sun roof (ventilation position): With the sun roof closed, depress the upper section of
the switch. To close, depress the lower section of the switch until the sun roof has closed completely.
· To slide open the sun roof : Depress the lower section of the switch until the sun roof has opened to the position
you prefer or until it reaches its final position and stops automatically.
Sun visor : The sun roof also features a sliding sun visor. The visor slides back automatically when the sun roof is
opened and also slides back slightly when the sun roof is opened to the ventilation position. The visor must be closed
manually.
CAUTION : Do not close the sun visor when the sun roof is in the ventilation position as this could damage the
mechanism.
NOTE : The electrically operated sun roof has an overload protecting circuit breaker (fuse no. 37) which is activated
when an object blocks the sun roof. Should this occur, remove the object and wait 20 seconds for the circuit breaker to
reset. The sun roof should then function normally. Also check fuse no. 35.
WARNING!
The sun roof must never be obstructed in any way when in operation.

NOTE ENGINE OIL:
Although some oil consumption occurs during normal engine operation, more oil is consumed when the engine is new
as the internal parts generate higher friction while wearingin to each other. From the time the engine is new until the
first service is performed, the oil consumption could be higher than normal. For this reason, it is especially
important to check the oil every time you refuel your car during this period. See page 120.
In general, the rate of oil consumption depends on such factors as: engine temperature, length of trip, driving
conditions, oil viscosity and quality, engine speed and acceleration/deceleration.
Checking your engine oil level each time the car is refueled is one of the most important items you can perform to
help keep your car in good running order.
