roof rack Alfa Romeo Giulia 2017 Owner's Manual

Caution!
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.
Closing
From the complete open position, push
the open/close button toward the front
of the vehicle. The roof will close
completely.
The automatic motion can be
interrupted in any position by pushing
the open/close button again.
Vent Opening
To bring the roof into vent position,
push and release the vent button.
This type of vent opening can be
activated regardless of the position of
the sunroof. When starting with the roof
in closed position, pushing the button
automatically causes its vent-opening. If
the roof is already open, the button
must be held until the roof reaches the
vent-opening position.
Pushing vent button again during
automatic movement of the roof will
stop it.
Sun Shade Movement
The sun shades are power operated.
Push the Power Shade open/close
button toward the rear of the vehicle to
open the sun shade.
Push the Power Shade open/close
button toward the front of the vehicle to
close the sun shades.
The automatic motion can be
interrupted in any position by pushing
the Power Shade on/off button again.
Pinch Protect Feature
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement. If an obstacle is
detected, the system intervenes and
the movement of the sunroof is
immediately reversed into opening.
Initialization Procedure
Automatic operation of the sunroof
must be initialized again in case of faulty
sunroof operation.
Proceed as follows:
1. Push the open/close button to bring
the roof into the completely closed
position.2. Turn the ignition to the STOP
position and wait at least ten seconds.
3. Turn the ignition to the AVV position.
Refer to “Ignition” in this chapter for
further information.
4. Hold the open/close button down
for at least ten seconds. You should
then hear the mechanical stop of the
roof motor.
5. Within five seconds, hold the
open/close button down. The roof will
perform a complete automatic opening
and closing cycle (to indicate that the
initialization procedure has been
successful). If this does not occur, the
procedure must be restarted from the
beginning.

Warning!
Do not use accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the Side Air
Bags; the performance could be adversely
affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
2. Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs): Located above the
side windows. The trim covering the
SABICs is labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or
“AIRBAG.”
SABICs may help reduce the risk of
head or other injuries to front and rear
seat outboard occupants in certain side
impacts and/or vehicle rollover events, in
addition to the injury reduction potential
provided by the seat belts and body
structure.
The SABICs deploy downward,
covering the side windows. An inflating
SABIC pushes the outside edge of the
trim out of the way and covers the
window. The SABICs inflate with
enough force to injure occupants if they
are not belted and seated properly, or if
items are positioned in the area where
the SABICs inflate. Children are at an
even greater risk of injury from a
deploying air bag.
Warning!
Do not stack luggage or other cargo up
high enough to block the deployment of the
SABICs. The trim covering above the side
windows where the SABIC and its
deployment path are located should remain
free from any obstructions.
In order for the SABICs to work as
intended, do not install any accessory
items in your vehicle which could alter the
roof. Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to
your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that
require permanent attachments (bolts or
screws) for installation on the vehicle roof.
Do not drill into the roof of the vehicle for
any reason.
The SABICs and SABs (Side Air Bags)
are designed to activate in certain side
impacts and certain rollover events. The
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
determines whether the deployment of
the Side Air Bags in a particular side impact or rollover event is appropriate,
based on the severity and type of
collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not
a good indicator of whether or not Side
Air Bags should have deployed.
Side Air Bags are a supplement to the
seat belt restraint system. Side Air Bags
deploy in less time than it takes to blink
your eyes.
Warning!
Occupants, including children, who are
up against or very close to Side Air Bags
can be seriously injured or killed.
Occupants, including children, should never
lean on or sleep against the door, side
windows, or area where the side air bags
inflate, even if they are in an infant or child
restraint.
Seat belts (and child restraints where
appropriate) are necessary for your
protection in all collisions. They also help
keep you in position, away from an inflating
Side Air Bag. To get the best protection
from the Side Air Bags, occupants must
wear their seat belts properly and sit
upright with their backs against the seats.
Children must be properly restrained in a
child restraint or booster seat that is
appropriate for the size of the child.
