The roof has two panels, a front and a
rear one, that can be individually or
simultaneously removed, as wished.
Front and rear panels are distinguished
by a dedicated symbol on the bottom
of the panels themselves.
IMPORTANT The panels can withstand
any snow that may deposit on them.
In any case, it is advisable to remove
excessive snow.

On some versions, the front panel
might be electrically operated. This

forward/backward and opened in swivel

The buttons to operate the front panel
are located on the trim close to the
front roof light fig. 35:

Pressing the button on the front glass
panel will completely open it. From

position of the front panel. To bring
the roof into swivel position, press and
release the button. This opening mode
can be activated with fully closed roof

deactivated. During the swivel opening,
any pressure on the button stops the
roof closing.
Anti-pinch device
The front panel has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle whilst the
panel is being opened and closed.
When this happens, the system stops
and the movement of the panel is
immediately reversed.
