ELECTRIC SUN ROOF
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The 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 sunroof can be operated only with the ignition key turned to
MAR. The controls A and B-Fig. 63 on the front courtesy light trim,
operate the sun roof opening/closing functions.
Opening the sunroof
Press button A-fig. 63 and hold it pressed: the front glass panel will
assume the spoiler position. Press button A again and operate the
control for longer than half a second to move the roof window to
an intermediate position (“Comfort” position).
Press the opening control for longer than half a second to open the
roof entirely. The front panel can be stopped in an intermediate po-
sition by pressing button A again.
Closing the sunroof
With the sunroof in the fully open position, press button B-fig. 62
and, if the button is operated for more than half a second, the front
roof glass with automatically assume the intermediate position
(comfort position).
If the button is operated again for about half a second the roof
will assume the spoiler position. Lastly, if the button B is pressed
again, the roof will assume the fully closed position.

CONTENTSWhen leaving the car, always remove the key from
the ignition device to avoid the risk of injury due
to accidental operation of the sun roof; it presents
a risk to those left on board: improper use of the roof
can be dangerous. Before round during operation, always
check that no-one is at risk of being injured by the mov-
ing sunroof or by objects getting caught and dragged
by it.
Do not open the sun roof in the presence of snow
or ice: it may be damaged.

The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety system capable of detecting
the presence of an object whilst the roof is closing; when this hap-
pens the system stops and the glass travel is immediately reversed.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS
The window winders work with the ignition key at MAR and for
approximately three minutes after turning the key to STOP or ex-
tracting it and opening one of the front doors.
The control buttons are located in the door panels (the driver’s door
panel can be used to operate all the windows).
An anti-pinch device is operated when the front and rear windows
are wound up.
CONTROLS fig. 68
Front door driver’s side
A. opening/closing left hand front window; “continuous auto-
matic” operation during window opening/closing stage;
B. opening/closing right hand front window; “continuous auto-
matic” operation during window opening/closing stage;
C. enabling/disabling of rear door electric window controls;
D. opening/closing left hand rear window (for versions/markets,
where provided); “continuous automatic” operation during win-
dow opening/closing stage;
E. opening/closing right hand rear window (for versions/markets,
where provided); “continuous automatic” operation during win-
dow opening/closing stage;
Press the buttons to open/close the required window. When one
of the two buttons is pressed briefly, the window moves in stages;
if the button is held down, “continuous automatic” operation is ac-
tivated both for closing and opening. If the button is pressed again
the window will stop in its current position. Holding the button
pressed for a few seconds, the window automatically raises or low-
ers (only with key on MAR).

IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or removed, the electric win-
dows remain active for about 3 minutes and are deactivated the
moment a door is opened.
IMPORTANT On some versions when the
Ëbutton on the remote
control is pressed for longer than 2 seconds the windows will open,
whilst if the
Ábutton is pressed for longer than 2 seconds the
windows will close.
The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC standard
concerning the safety of passengers leaning out of
the passenger compartment.
Incorrect use of the electric windows may be danger-
ous. Before and during operation, always check that
no passenger is at risk of being injured directly by
the moving window or by objects getting caught in or dragged
by the window. When leaving the car, always remove the key
from the ignition device to avoid the risk of injury due to ac-
cidental operation of the electric windows. This is a danger to
the people still on board.
Anti-pinch device
The car is equipped with an anti-pinch safety device for the upwards
motion of the windows.
The windows are fitted with an anti-pinch safety system that de-
tects the presence of an obstacle when they are closing and cuts
in by stopping the window and reversing it according to the posi-
tion of the window. This device is also useful when the windows
are activated accidentally by children on board the car.
The anti-pinch function is active both during manual and automat-
ic operation of the electric windows. Following the intervention of
the anti-pinch system, the window travel is immediately interrupt-
ed and subsequently reversed until the lower end of travel is
reached. The window cannot be operated in any way during this
time.
IMPORTANT If the anti-pinch protection intervenes 5 consecutive
times within a minute or is faulty, the automatic closing operation
of the window is inhibited, only allowing it in steps of half a sec-
ond; the button is released for the subsequent manoeuvre.
Open the concerned window to restore correct operation of the sys-
tem.

pressed for at least 3 seconds once the end of travel position
has been reached (lower end stop);
2. completely raise the driver-side window and keep the button
pressed for at least 3 seconds once the end of travel position
