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.

IMPORTANT
2)The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC
standard concerning the safety of
passengers leaning out of the passenger
compartment.
WARNING
15)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
(where provided)
16)
3)
The extensively glazed sun roof
comprises a moving glass panel and a sun
blind.
When the glazed panel is closed it allows
outside light to enter the passenger
compartment and you can see out of it.

button is then pressed, the panel will
start to slide backward until it is
completely open. After the initial opening
command, the glass panel can be stopped
in intermediate positions by pressing the
button again.
Brief button pressure: “manual” sunroof
opening. The front glass panel moves
from the completely closed position and

stopped in intermediate positions by
pressing the button again
Brief button pressure: “manual” sunroof
closing. If button is pressed briefly, the
front glass panel moves from the
completely open position and stops in the
position where the button is released. In
this case, the panel closes by pressing it.
This function makes it possible to place
the front glass panel in intermediate
positions in relation to those produced
through automatic closing.
IMPORTANT The sun roof must stay
closed if a transverse roof rack is fitted.
ANTI-PINCH 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.
IMPORTANT The anti-pinch system is
disabled through continuous pressure of
button 2.
INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
The sunroof must be re-initialised after
disconnecting the battery or if the
relevant protection fuse is blown.Perform the following:
press button 2 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 B 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. 29 located on the internal lining,
between the two sun blinds;
take the Allen key 2 supplied (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
3)Do not open the sun roof if there is snow
or ice on it: you may damage it.
WARNING
16)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.

Efficient Drive
(where provided)
The Efficient Drive application allows you
to display your driving behaviour in real
time, in order to help you reach a more
efficient driving style as far as
consumption and emissions are
concerned.
Driving style is evaluated by means of
four indices which monitor the following
parameters: acceleration, deceleration,
gearchange, speed
Display of the Efficient Drive
(where provided)
Press the Efficient Drive button to
interact with the function.
On theUconnect™display, a screen will
appear showing 4 indices: “Acceleration”,
“Deceleration”, “Speed” and “Gear”. These
indices are grey until the system has
enough data to evaluate the driving style.
Once sufficient data are available, the
indices will have 5 colours depending on
the evaluation: dark green (very good),
light green, yellow, orange and red (very
bad).
In the event of extended inactivity the
display will show the average of the
indices up to that moment (“Averageindex”) then the indices will be coloured
again in real time as soon as the vehicle is
restarted.
