When the sunroof is in the fully opened position, press
button A-fig. 49; if the button is held down for more than
half a second, the front sunroof glass will automatically
move to the intermediate position (“Comfort” position).

sition. Pressing the close button once again will complete-
ly close the sunroof.
fig. 49L0E0108m
If transverse roof racks are fitted use the sun-
roof only in the “spoiler” position. Do not open
the sunroof in the presence of snow or ice: it
may be damaged.
When leaving the car, always remove the key
from the ignition device to avoid the risk of
injury due to accidental operation of the sun-
roof; it presents a risk to those left on board: in-
correct use of the sunroof can be dangerous. Before
operation, always check that no-one is at risk of be-
ing injured by the moving sunroof or by objects get-
ting caught and dragged by it.
Anti-pinch device
The sunroof is fitted with an anti-pinch safety system that
detects the presence of an obstacle during sunroof clos-
ing travel and cuts in by stopping and reversing the sun-
roof travel. IMPORTANT During the sunroof closing manoeuvre the sun
blind will remain in the “fully open” position. If you would
like to close it, this must be done manually.

Anti-pinch safety device
The vehicle is equipped with an anti-pinch safety device
for the upwards motion of the windows.
This safety system is capable of recognizing the presence
of an obstacle whilst the window is closing; when this hap-
pens, the system stops the travel of the glass and, de-
pending on the position of the window, reverses its move-
ment.
This device is also useful when the windows are activat-
ed accidentally by children on board the vehicle.
The anti-pinch function is active both during manual and
automatic operation of the electric windows. Following
the intervention of the anti-pinch system, the window trav-
el is immediately interrupted and subsequently reversed
until the lower end of travel is reached. During this time
the window cannot be operated in any way.IMPORTANT If the anti-pinch protection intervenes 5
times consecutively within 1 minute or a system failure
is detected, the automatic window closing function is in-
hibited. The window can then only be operated in steps of
half a second and the button must be released following
each step.
One of the following manoeuvres must be carried out in
order to restore correct operation:
switch off and restart the engine;
fully lower the window concerned.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or removed, the
electric windows remain active for about 3 minutes and
are deactivated the moment a door is opened.
