Power Sunroof with Sunshade 
The sunroof and the sunshade are power-controlled and can only be operated with the ignition device in ON position.
The sunroof is made of two glass panels: the front one can be moved whereas the rear one is fixed with an electrically operated sunshade. The left switch (1) controls the sunroof movement, whereas the right one (3) controls the sunshade. Lifting of the sunroof front panel for venting is controlled by the central switch (2) on the front dome console. The sunroof has three preset positions: fully closed; comfort (intermediate opening); fully open. By opening the sunroof a wind deflector rises automatically in order to deviate the air flow.
WARNING
- Improper use of the sunroof can be dangerous, even if it features a finger-trap prevention system. Before and during the sunroof operation, always make sure that passengers are not exposed to the risk of injuries caused by the moving sunroof or by personal objects dragged or hit by the moving sunroof.
- In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from the vehicle if the sunroof is open. Always fasten your seat belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured too.
- Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never insert fingers, other body parts, or any object through the roof opening.
CAUTION
- In the event of rain, always close the sunroof to prevent water infiltrations from staining the fabric/leather upholstery.
- Do not open the sunroof if there is ice on it: risk of damage.
- Do not open the sunroof in case of the presence of any object (bicycle, surfboard or other type of carriers fixed to cross bars) that might interfere with the sunroof.
Slide Opening Sunroof Opening
Press the (1) button: the sunroof will open to the comfort position. A second press will open it fully. A long press of the same button will open the sunroof until it is released, or if held down, until it reaches the comfort position. Use the button in the same way to open the sunroof fully from that position. The automatic movement can be interrupted in any position by pressing the (1) button again.
If the electric sunshade is closed, the sunroof opening control opens it too.
Closing
From the position of complete opening press the (1) button: the sunroof will close completely.
A long press of the same button moves the sunroof until it is released.
The automatic movement can be interrupted in any position by pressing the (1) button again.
Venting Sunroof
To bring the sunroof into the “vent” position, press and release the (2) button.
This type of vent opening can be activated irrespective of the position of the sunroof. When starting with the roof in closed position, pressing the button automatically causes its vent-opening. If the sunroof is already open, pressing the button will open it to the vent position. Press the (2) button again during automatic opening or closing to stop movement of the sunroof.
NOTE:
When the sunroof is moved in opened and in vent position, if the sunshade was closed, it will open in an intermediate position.
Sunshade
The sunshade is electrically operated. The sunshade has three preset positions: fully closed; comfort (intermediate opening); fully open. Press the (3) right switch to open the sunshade. Press the (3) button again to close the sunshade. The automatic motion can be interrupted in any position by pressing the (3) button again.
If the sunroof is open, the sunshade closing control will also close the sunroof.
Pinch Protect Function
This function will detect an obstruction in the roof opening during the automatic closure or a constant obstruction of the sunroof front panel. If an obstruction is detected by the safety system during the closing movement, the sunroof front panel will automatically retract. If this occurs, remove the obstruction then press onwards and release the left switch to reactivate the sunroof automatic closure.
NOTE:
- If three consecutive pinch events are experienced, the e-drive will only close manually. The sunroof shall stay in only manual close mode until the panel reaches the flush position or until the ignition device is moved in the STOP position. After that, the e-drive will re-enable the express close movements.
- Pinch protection is disabled while pressing the switch/es.
Initialization Procedure
The automatic operation of the sunroof must be initialized again in case of faulty sunroof operation.
NOTE:
The pinch protection function is deactivated during the initialization procedure.
Proceed as follows:
- set the ignition device to ON position starting the engine;
- press the (1) button to bring the sunroof into a completely closed position;
- open the driver-side door;
- bring the ignition device into the STOP position;
- within 5 seconds, set the ignition device to ON position starting the engine;
- within 10 seconds hold the (1) button pressed; after 10 seconds you will hear the electric motors of the sunroof and sunshade stop in sequence;
- release the button and within 5 seconds, press the (1) button and hold it down (until the cycle end): the sunroof will automatically perform a complete open and close cycle including both the sunroof and the sunshade (to indicate that the initialization has been successful). If this does not occur, the procedure must be restarted from the beginning;
- check that the re-initialization operation was successful by checking the “one touch” function of the sunroof and of the sunshade.
Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressure or a helicopter-type sound. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof in certain open or partially open positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, then open the front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, then adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting.
Ignition STOP Operation
The power sunroof controls will remain active for up to approximately ten minutes after the ignition device is in STOP position. Opening either front door will cancel this function. The ignition system timing can be set using the MIA system (see “Functions of Settings Menu on MIA” in section “Dashboard Instruments and Controls”).
Sunroof Maintenance
Use only a nonabrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the glass panel.
