GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
ROOF
The roof is a one–piece painted metal unit which incorpo-
rates a single solid headliner. There are two moldings, one
per side on the vehicle’s roof, which enclose and hide the
roof rail seams. The roof moldings are serviceable as indi-
vidual units.
The one–piece formed headliner consists of a molded
substrate covered with a foam–backed cloth facing. The
one–piece construction requires that the headliner be ser-
viced as a complete assembly.
POWER SUNROOF/SUNROOF

The sunroof has the following characteristics:
S Intended to provide light and air through the roof
the vehicle.
S Built into the roof.
S Made of glass.
S Equipped with a sunshade that opens and closes
manually.
S Powered by an electric motor.
S Controlled by a toggle switch built into the interior
courtesy lamp assembly.
The sunroof control switch is a toggle button located on the
right side of the interior courtesy lamp assembly.
To operate the sunroof, the ignition must be ON.Tilting the Sunroof, Open and Closed

1–2 GENERAL INFORMATIONNUBIRA/LACETTI
1. GENERAL INSTRUCTION
This publication is designed to help you the body repair
technician with your specialized work. Vehicle bodywork
has changed a great deal over the years. As vehicles
have developed technically, vehicle bodywork has also
had to meet new requirements with design, changes to
reconcile apparently conflicting demands to name just a
few examples:
S strength and safety ; low weight
S spaciousness ; good aerodynamices
S high quality ; low price
.
The durability and ease of repair of the bodywork also
plays an important part.
.
Nowadays, the use of highly automated production
equipment makes it possible to maintain the tightest
tolerances and thus ensure a high level of quality.
.
When bodywork is damaged, the customer rightly ex-
pects it to be expertly repaired to the same quality stan-
dards.
.
At the same time, for his safety, the customer expects
you to have comprehensive knowledge of materials,
measuring and straightening methods, possible distor-
tion, optimum corrosion prevention and much more be-
sides.
.
This publication is designed to help you update your
knowledge and give you an idea of what you require to
rectify moderate or severe accident damage, for your
own safety and for the satisfaction of your customers.
2. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
2–1. BEFORE BEGINNING WORK
S Disconnect the battery to reduce the possibility of fire
caused by electrical shorts.
S Check for fuel leaks and repair as necessary.
S Remove the fuel tank and/or fuel lines if welding equip-
ment is to be used near the fuel system.
S Before welding, sanding or cutting, protect carpets and
seats with fire–proof covers.
S Follow standard safety practices when using toxic or
flammable liquids.
S Use standard safety equipment when spraying paint,
welding, cutting, sanding or grinding. Standard safety
equipment includes.
S Respirator and filter masks: Designed to filter out toxic
fumes, mist, dust or other airborn particles. Use a respi-
rator or filter mask designed to protect you from the haz-
ards of the particular job; some respirators, for example,
are designed to filter out only dust and airborn particles,
not toxic fumes.
S Safety goggles or glasses: Designed to protect your
eyes from projectiles, dust particles or splashing liquid.
S Gloves: Rubber gloves protect against corrosive chemi-
cals. Welding gloves protect against burns and abra-
sions caused by welding, sanding or grinding.
S Safety shoes: Non–slip soles protect against slipping.
Metal toe inserts protect against falling objects.
S Ear plugs: Protect eardrums from harmful noise levels.
.
2–2. DURING WORK
S Do not smoke while working near the fuel system.
S Deposit gas or solvent–soaked shop towels in an ap-
proved container.
S Brake lining contains asbestos, which can cause cancer.
Do not use an air hose to blow off brake assemblies: use
only an approved vacuum cleaner, and wear an ap-
proved filter mask or respirator.
S Always attach a safety cable when using a hydraulic ram
or a frame straightening table: do not stand in direct line
with the chains used on such equipment.
