ELECTRIC SUNROOF
(where provided)
21)
The electric sunroof comprises two glass
panels (the front one is mobile and the
rear one fixed) and is fitted with an
electrically operated sun blind.
Operation of the sunroof is only possible

the roof will open to the comfort position.
A second press will open it fully.
A long press of the same button will open
the roof until it is released, or if held
down, until it reaches the comfort
position. Use the button in the same way
to open the roof fully from that position.
11)
The automatic motion can be interrupted
in any position by pressing button
1 again.
If the electric blind is closed, the roof
opening control opens it too.
CLOSING

ANTI-PINCH DEVICE
The 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.
INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
Automatic operation of the sunroof must
be initialised again in case of faulty
sunroof operation.
IMPORTANT The anti-pinch safety
function is deactivated during the
initialisation procedure.
Proceed as follows:
press button 1 next to thesymbol

position;
bring the ignition device to STOP and
wait at least 10 seconds. Then set the
ignition device to AVV and start the
engine;

hold it down; after 10 seconds you will
hear the electric motors of the roof and
blind stop in sequence;
release the button and within
5 seconds, press the
symbol on
button 1 and hold it down (until the cycle
end): the roof will automatically perform
a complete open and close cycle (to
indicate that the initialisation has been
successful). If this does not occur, the
procedure must be restarted from the
beginning.
WARNING
21)When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure you have the key with you 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 sunroof or by objects
getting caught or hit by it.
IMPORTANT
11)Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack or
crossbars are fitted. Do not open the sun
roof if there is snow or ice on it: you may
damage it.

BONNET
OPENING
22) 23)
Proceed as follows:
inside the passenger compartment
pull the release lever, fig. 38 fig. 39;
go to the outside of the car and
position yourself in front of the grille;
lift the bonnet slightly from right to
left as indicated by the arrow on release
device fig. 40;
raise the bonnet completely: the
operation is facilitated by the presence
of two gas shock absorbers which hold it
the all open position.
Do not tamper with the shock absorber
and accompany the bonnet while lifting it.
CLOSING
22) 24)
To close, lower the bonnet to
approximately 16 in (40 centimetres)
from the engine compartment then let it
drop. Make sure that the bonnet is
completely closed and not only fastened
by the locking device by trying to open it.
If it is not perfectly closed, do not try to
press the bonnet down but open it and
repeat the procedure.
IMPORTANT Always check that the
bonnet is closed correctly to prevent it
from opening while the vehicle is
travelling. Since the bonnet is equipped
with a double locking system, one for
each side, you must check that it is closed
on both its side ends.
WARNING
22)Perform these operations only when the
car is stationary.
23)Use both hands to lift the bonnet. Before
lifting, check that the windscreen wiper arms
are not raised from the windscreen or in
operation, that the vehicle is stationary and
that the electric parking brake is engaged.
24)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock is
engaged. If you discover that the bonnet is
not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the
correct manner.
