WARNINGS:
- do not open the hood when it is dirty or wet, as staying folded for a long time may damage it;
- at the start of automatic operations (either opening or closing) the windows are lowered automatically. If this fails to take place it is necessary to stop the operation - releasing the button - and operate the window winders with the buttons
- Do NOT operate the windows when the system is working
WARNING LED
- If the led starts to flash, it means that the system has memorised an operating fault. Try again, turning the ignition key to STOP and then back to MARCIA, then proceed with Faultfinding as described later.
- If the led flashes only once with the button pressed, this means that a manoeuvre error has been detected, eg. the handbrake has not been engaged.
- If the led flashes after completion of the operation or stays on permanently, this means that the hood is not locked correctly (open or closed).
