i

t   may   be   necessary   to   force   the   closing   of   the  
b

lind   using   the   reinitialisation   procedure.
The blind is controlled electrically by a rotary
dial.
Reinitialising the system
Following reconnection of the battery, or in the e
vent   of   a   malfunction   in   its   operation,   it   may

In these weather conditions, you should
switch
  on   the   foglamps   and   dipped  
b

eam   headlamps   manually,   as   the  
s

Do
  not   forget   to   switch   off   the   front   and  
r

ear   foglamps   when   they   are   no   longer
