Internal Equipment Sunroof The sunroof is electrically controlled and can only be operated with the ignition key in the MAR (ON) position. It can slide and be raised at the rear (tilting). The sunroof is equipped with a fingertrap prevention system designed to control sliding when the roof is being closed or tilted. If an obstacle interferes with the roof travel during the closing stage, the sunroof stops and reverses its travel a short way back. WARNING: In the event of rain, always close the sunroof to prevent the water from staining the fabric/leather upholstery.

Improper use of the sunroof can however be dangerous, even with the finger-trap prevention system. Before and during the sunroof operation, always make sure that passengers are not exposed to the risk of injuries caused both by the moving roof and by personal objects dragged or hit by the sunroof itself. When you exit the vehicle, always remove the ignition key to avoid that the sunroof, if operated inadvertently, becomes a danger for passengers remaining onboard. WARNING: Do not open the sunroof if there is ice on it: risk of damage.

Opening and closing The selector switch A controls all the roof's movements. There are 6 positions to open the sliding roof and 3 three positions for the tilted opening. When the selector switch position has been chosen, the sunroof moves until it stops automatically in the position chosen. Upon opening the sunroof, a front flap rises automatically in order to deflect the air flow.

WARNING: If the guide needs to be cleaned with solvents, the mechanisms, Bowden cables and sliding parts, such as the water channel slide, must be then greased.
