In-depth knowledge of your new car starts here.
The booklet that you are reading simply and directly explains how
it is made and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it seated comfortably on board,
so that you can see what is described here for yourself.

proceed in the same way as described
in points 1 and 2 for the passenger side

make sure that the initialisation is
correct by checking that the windows
work automatically.
IMPORTANT
7)The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC
standard concerning the safety of
passengers leaning out of the passenger
compartment.
WARNING
13)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during their
operation, ensure that any passengers are
not at risk from the moving glass either by
personal objects getting caught in the
mechanism or by being hit by it directly.
When leaving the car, always remove the key
from the ignition to prevent accidental
operation of the electric windows from being
a hazard for those still on board.
ELECTRIC SUNROOF
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The large electric sun roof comprises two
glass panels; the front one is mobile and
the rear one fixed. These are equipped
with two sun blinds (front and rear) that
can be moved manually.
With the sun roof closed, the blinds can
be placed in any position.
OPERATION
The sun roof can be operated only with
the ignition key turned to MAR.

Press button 1 fig. 26:
First press: the front glass panel will
move to the “spoiler” position.

Closing the sun roof
Press button 2 fig. 26.
ANTI-PINCH SAFETY DEVICE
The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle whilst the roof is
closing; when this happens, the system
stops and the movement of the front
glass is immediately reversed.
SUN BLINDS
To open the blinds, grip handle 1 fig. 27,
following the direction indicated by the
arrow until the desired position is
reached.

To close them, carry out the procedure in
reverse.
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 1 fig. 26 until the roof is
completely closed. Then release the
button;
press button 2 and hold it down for at
least 10 seconds and/or until the glass
panel clicks forwards. Release the button
at this point;
within 5 seconds of the previous
operation, press button 2 and hold it
down: the front glass panel will complete
a full opening and closing cycle. Only
release the button at the end of this
cycle.
MAINTENANCE/EMERGENCY
In case of emergency or maintenance the
roof can be moved manually when there
is no power supply (opening/closing of
the front glass panel) by carrying out the
following operations:
remove the protective cap 1 fig. 28
located on the internal lining, between
the two sun blinds;
take the Allen key 2 supplied, which is
located in the on-board documentation
container or in the toolbox in the luggage
compartment;
introduce the key into housing 3 and
turn it clockwise to open the roof or
anticlockwise to close the roof.
IMPORTANT
8)Do not open the sun roof if there is snow
or ice on it: you may damage it.
WARNING
14)When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition switch to
avoid the risk of injury to those still inside
the car due to accidental operation of the
sun roof. Improper use of the roof can be
dangerous. Before and during operation,
always check that no one is exposed to the
risk of being injured by the moving sun roof
or by objects getting caught or hit by it.27A0K0577C
