the door revolving plug.
With key with remote control
Opening: prolonged pressing (for more

then are closed the blades.ANTI-CRUSHING SAFETY
SYSTEM
The anti-crushing safety system fitted on
the front curtain outline is active along the
whole closing range of the curtain and cuts
into operation when an obstacle (e.g.: fin-
ger, hand, etc...) is met. This safety device
guarantees the reversal for a short sec-
tion.
In addition, the anti-crushing safety system
is active on the rear border of the first
blade and on the front outline of the sec-
ond blade: in this case it is active on the
whole closing range of the curtain and cuts
into operation when an obstacle (e.g.: fin-
ger, hand, etc...) is met. This safety device
guarantees the reversal for a short sec-
tion.
As concerns the first blade it is active on
the whole rotation range and guarantees
the reversal of the whole stroke.
After anti-crushing system activation, re-
setting can be carried out with the fol-
lowing 2 procedures:
❒pushing knob A-fig. 83upwards (reset
previously stopped movement);
❒turning knob Ato another position.INITIALISATION PROCEDURE

connecting the battery or if the relevant
protection fuse is blown:
❒turn knob A-fig. 81to “0” (fully
closed);
❒keep the knob pressed for over 5 sec-
onds: the sunroof will close jerkily;
❒keep the knob pressed and wait for
complete closing of the sunroof, until
the sun curtain clicks twice.
Sunroof is now initialised and it shall work
regularly. Otherwise, contact Fiat Deal-
ership.
IMPORTANT Carry out the initialisation
procedure with the engine running. If stop-
ping the initialisation procedure before
ending it, repeat it from the beginning.
