If the switch does not work, the sunroof
can be operated manually as follows:
❒remove the protective cover
between the two sun visors
❒take the provided Allen wrench
❒insert the provided wrench into the
seat A-fig. 105and turn it:
– clockwise to open the sunroof
– counter-clockwise to close the sun-
roof.In case of cross roof rack, you
are suggested to use the sun-
roof only in “spoiler” position.
Do not open the sunroof if
there is snow or ice on it: it
could be damaged.

key when you get out of the
car to prevent the sunroof being op-
erated accidentally and constituting
a danger to the people left in the car.
The improper use of the sunroof can
be dangerous. Before and during its
operation ensure that any passengers
are not at risk from the moving roof
either by personal objects getting
caught in the mechanism or by being
injured by it directly.
