ANTI-PINCH SAFETY SYSTEM
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system capable of de-
tecting the presence of an obstacle whilst the roof is clos-
ing; when this happens, the system stops and the move-
ment of the glass is immediately reversed.
INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
The sunroof must be re-initialised after disconnecting the
battery or if the relevant protection fuse is blown.
Proceed as follows:
❒press button A-fig. 83 at close position;
❒hold the button down so that the sunroof closes in
stages;
❒after full closing, wait for sunroof’s electric motor
to stop.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the
ignition to avoid the risk of injury to those still inside the
car due to accidental operation of the sunroof. Improper
use of the roof can be dangerous. Before and during op-
eration, always check that no-one is exposed to the risk
of being injured by the moving sunroof or by objects get-
ting caught and dragged by it.
F0U0077mfig. 84
EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the switch does not work, the sunroof can be operat-
ed manually as follows:
❒remove the protection cap located between the two
shutters;
❒take the Allen key (provided as standard) from the tool-
box in the boot;
❒insert the key into hole A-fig. 84 and turn it:
