Glass sun roof
The sun roof is operated by the electrical control A.
A n a c t i o n t o t h e fi r s t n o t c h o f t h e control starts a movement which stops as soon as you release the control.
An action to the second notch of the control opens or closes the sun roof fully. A further action stops the movement.
ANTI-PINCH
An anti-pinch device is present to stop the sun roof from sliding shut. If it meets an obstacle it slides in the opposite direction.
After a battery disconnection or if there has been a malfunction, you have to re-initialise the anti-pinch function.
To do that, move the control A to the second notch to make the sun roof open fully, then keep the control A pressed for at least 1 seconds.
Warning: During this manœuvre, the anti-pinch does not operate.
Your vehicle's sun roof has a manually-operated blind.
Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, even if for a short time.
In the event of anything being caught by the sun roof clos ing, you must reverse the roof movement.
To do that, reverse the position of the control concerned.
When the driver is operating the sun roof, he or she must always make sure that the passengers are not preven ting it from closing properly.
The driver must ensure that passengers use the sun roof control correctly.
PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO WHERE CHILDREN ARE WHEN OPERATING THE SUN ROOF.
