SOLAR CELL
OPERATED
SUNROOF
The sunroof is electrically con-
trolled and its operation is possible
only with the ignition key at MAR.
The sunroof can slide lenghtwise,
with various opening positions, until
it fully retracts into the special hous-
ing, or can lift at the front (by pivot-
ing) to allow passenger compart-
ment aeration.
The upper part of the sunroof
incorporates a set of solar cells that
feed the climate control system fan
at first speed when the car is parked
to reduce the temperature inside the
passenger compartment.IMPORTANTBest operation of
the fan when the car is parked is
obtained by closing completely the
windows and sunroof. Furthermore,
to check operation at first speed of
the fan, disengage air vents and set
air distribution from central dash-
board vents only before leaving the
car.
The sunroof is equipped with an
anti-trap safety system, which con-
trols the closing lenghtwise sliding as
well as pivoting.
The electronic control unit that
controls the system is able to detect
the presence of obstacles when the
roof is closing or pivoting at the rear;
in this case, the system will interrupt
the sunroof travel and immediately
reverse it for a short stretch. RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND
CELLULAR TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.:
e-tacs mobile phones, HAM radio
systems and the like) shall not be
used inside the car unless a separate
aerial is mounted outside the car.
The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without
external aerial) may cause electrical
systems equipping the car to mal-
function. This could compromise car
safety in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and
reception of these devices may be
affected by the shielding effect of the
car body.
As concerns the use of mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS) pro-
vided with official EC approval,
strictly comply with the instructions
given by the mobile phone manufac-
turer.

223
The sunroof must not be
opened in the presence of
snow or ice; otherwise, it
could be damaged.
IMPORTANTOn versions fitted
with the Keyless System, do not lay
the CID device outside the car on the
sunroof, to avoid a fake identifica-
tion of the CID itself as if inside the
car.SUNROOF OPENING/CLOSING
AND PIVOTING
All the sunroof functions (opening,
closing and rear pivoting) are con-
trolled by selector A(fig. 184).
Six positions for lenghtwise open-
ing and three for pivoting are pro-
vided (fig. 185).
After rotating the selector, the sun-
roof will move and stop automatical-
ly in the required position.
When the sunroof is opened, a
deflectorA(fig. 186) will automati-
cally lift in the front part, which
deviates the air flow.

L0A0284b
Improper use of the sun-
roof can in any case be
dangerous, even if the
anti-trap safety system is avail-
able. Before and during sunroof
actuation, make sure that pas-
sengers are not exposed to the
risk of injuries caused by the
moving roof or by objects pulled
or hit by the roof itself. Always
remove the ignition key when you
leave your car, to prevent the
sunroof from being unintention-
ally actuated, which could be
dangerous for the passengers
inside the car.

225
CENTRAL SUNROOF AND
WINDOW LOCKING SYSTEM
Central locking/opening of sunroof
and windows can be actuated at the
following conditions:
– ignition key removed
– all doors closed correctly.To actuate central locking by
means of the remote control, keep
buttonB(fig. 188) depressed for
more than 3 seconds after closing
the doors: the sunroof and window
winders will be actuated until they
are completely closed or the button
is released.
To actuate central locking by
means of the remote control, keep
buttonA(fig. 188) depressed for
more than 3 seconds after opening
the doors: the sunroof and windows
winders will be actuated until they
are completely open or the button is
released.
This function can be used before
getting into the car when it has been
parked in the sun, in order to aerate
the passenger compartment.Central locking can also be actuat-
ed by turning the key in the lock of
one of the front doors: keep the key
turned to 2(fig. 189) for more than
3 seconds. The sunroof and window
winders are actuated until they are
completely closed or the key is
released.
By keeping the key turned to 1
(fig. 189) for more than 3 seconds,
both the sunroof and all the win-
dows will open. The sunroof and
window winders are actuated until
they are completely open or the key
is released.

The boot can be opened both from
the outside and the inside of the car.
IMPORTANTFaulty closing of the
boot is signalled by the lighting of
the relevant symbol on the multi-
function display, together with mes-
sage “BOOT OPEN”With the battery flat, or
after the interruption of
one of the protection
fuses, or if you want to disconnect
a loaded battery (e.g. for a car
stop period), before opening the
luggage compartment bonnet
carefully read and comply with
the instructions contained in the
paragraph “If battery is to be dis-
connected” in the chapter “In an
emergency”.
OPENING FROM THE INSIDE
Boot tailgate is opened electrically.
It can be opened only when the igni-
tion key is at MARand the car is
stopped, or for 3 minutes after turn-

(fig. 192), placed on the central con-
sole, as follows:
– a short pressure of the button will
release the boot lock– a prolonged pressure of the but-
ton will release the lock and open
the boot.
Boot lifting is facilitated by the
action of gas dampers.
The dampers are cali-
brated so as to ensure
correct lifting of the boot
tailgate with the weights estab-
lished by the manufacturer.
Addition of extra equipment (e.g.
spoiler, etc.) can adversely affect
operation and safety of use.
