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.
IMPORTANT Best 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.
