SUNROOF
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The sunroof is of the glass type with sunshade blind. The sunroof is operated by an electric motor. The sliding mechanisms permit two different types of positioning:
- a "hidden" position which allows the roof to be opened partially or fully. The glass panel slides backwards into the space between the inner and outer roof panels.
- the sunroof can also adopt a quarterlight position which makes it possible to raise the rear part of the roof so that a limited air flow enters the passenger compartment. The blind is also housed in the space between the inner and outer roof panels when the sunroof is open. The sunroof is controlled using the button (1) located on the front roof light. The type of movement (closing/opening to the hidden or quarterlight positions) results from the shape of the control used to operated the sunroof cams on the runners and from the sliding of the runners on the rails.
