bosses, Velcro strips and the like, which,
by applying a high pressure on the fabric in
a limited area, could cause it to break,
thereby damaging the upholstery.

SWIVEL OPENINGTo bring the roof into "swivel" position,
press and release button C fig. 38.
This type of swivel-opening can be
activated irrespective of the position of
the sun roof. When starting with the
roof in closed position, pressing the
button automatically causes its
swivel-opening. If the roof is already
open, the button must be held until the
roof reaches the swivel-opening
position.Pressing button C again during
automatic movement of the roof will
stop it.
ANTI-PINCH DEVICEThe sun roof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement: if this happens, the
system intervenes and the movement
of the roof is immediately reversed
into opening.EMERGENCY OPERATIONIf the control buttons fail to operate, the
sun roof can be moved manually,
proceeding as described below:
❒remove protective cap A fig. 39 on
the internal trim;
❒take Allen key B provided;
❒place Allen key B into housing A;❒turn Allen key B in a clockwise
direction to open the roof or in an
anticlockwise direction to close it.
INITIALISATION
PROCEDUREAfter irregular behaviour of the sun roof
or an emergency manoeuvre (see
description in the previous paragraph),
the automatic operation of the sun
roof must be initialised again.
Proceed as follows:
❒press button A fig. 38 to bring the
roof into completely closed position;
❒bring the ignition device to STOP and
wait at least 10 seconds;
❒bring the ignition device to MAR;
❒hold button A down for at least 10
seconds, then you should hear the
mechanical stop of the roof motor;
❒within 5 seconds hold button A
down: the roof will perform a complete
automatic opening and closing cycle (to
indicate that the initialisation procedure
has been successful). If this does not
occur, the procedure must be restarted
