EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the switch fails, the sunroof can be
moved manually proceeding as described
below:
❒remove the protective cap on the
internal upholstery between the two
sun curtains.
❒take the socket wrench provided
❒introduce the socket in A-fig. 102
and turn it:
– clockwise, to open the roof
– anticlockwise, to close the roof.
It is advisable to use the sun-
roof in the spoiler position
only if a crosswise roof rack is
used.
Do not open the sun roof in
the presence of snow or ice: it
may be damaged.
When leaving the car, al-
ways 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 oper-
ation, always check that no-one is at
risk of being injured by the moving
sun roof or by objects getting caught
and dragged by it.
