Your vehicle is fitted with a tinted glass
panoramic sunroof which increases the light
and visibility in the passenger compartment. Its
electric blind helps control the temperature and
noise level in the passenger compartment.
th

control dial.
Opening
turn the dial to the left (several possible
opening settings).
Safety anti-pinch
If the blind encounters an obstacle during
closing, it stops and partially opens again to the
2nd position.
If the blind fails to close at a second attempt,
it may be necessary to force the closing of the
blind using the reinitialisation procedure.
Closing
Return the dial to the initial position.
If the position of the blind does not agree with
the position indicated by the dial, press the dial
to open the blind to this position.

must ensure that nothing prevents the
blind from closing correctly.
th

e driver must ensure that the
passengers use the blind correctly.
Be aware of children during operation
of the blind.
