Glass sun roof
The sun roof offers you two open-
ing positions:
- An initial press opens to the com-
fort position.
- A second press gives maximum opening position.
To close the sun roof, use the re-
verse procedure. An anti-pinch device stops the sun roof from sliding shut if i
t meets an obsta-
cle, in which case it reopens.
After a disconnection of the battery or in the event of a malfu nction,
you have to re-initialise the antipinch function.
To do this: place the control in the fully open or maximum tilt position, then
press the control, and keep it pressed for at least 1 second af ter the fully
open position has been reached.
Warning: During this operation, the anti-pinch device does not funct ion.
Advice
At speeds greater than 60 km/h (approx. 40 mph), it is advised to drive with
the sun roof in the comfort position.
Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even for short periods.
In the event of pinching when the sun roof is in operation, you should reverse the roof movement.
For this, reverse the position of the control concerned.
When the driver actions the sun roof control,he should first make sure that passengers
are not obstructing the closing of the sun roof.
The driver should ensure that passengers operate the sun roof control correctly.
ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN OPERATING THE ROOF.
