Operating the hood

OPERATING THE HOOD

Keeping the button pressed the hood opens or closes in the following sequence.

The led next to the button stays on throughout the period of operation: it only goes off once the operation has been completed (i.e. with the hood cover closed again).

In the event of danger releasing the button immediately stops the movement.

N.B.: the opening/closing operation can be reversed at any time pressing the button in the opposite direction.

If the hood is left in the intermediate position with the ignition key at MARCIA, after 5 minutes the hydraulic circuit is discharged, therefore the hood is released falling backwards or forwards with the possibility of damage.

INITIAL TEST

: turning the key to MARCIA, the control unit carries out a self-diagnosis test of the whole system. If this test result is positive, the led at the side of the control button flashes for 1.5 seconds and then goes off: if faults are found, the led flashes for 10 seconds

OPERATING SEQUENCES

NOTE: "HOOD OPENING" means the operation for opening the car "roof", with folding of the hood in the special rear compartment.

The reverse operation of "HOOD CLOSING" means closing the car "roof", with extension of the hood until it catches at the windscreeno.

The OPENING sequence and the reverse CLOSING sequence take place according to a number of "steps" which are described below:

Opening cycle:

• release of the front of the hood (preliminary operation to be carried out by hand)

1. lowering of the windows (for appr. 1 second)
2. hood movement upwards (closing) (to take it back the "end of stroke" if it has been opened manually)
3. release of 5th arc locks
4. 5th arc upward movement
5. release of hood cover locks
6. opening of hood cover
7. downward movement of 5th arc
8. downward movement (opening) of hood
9. closing of hood cover
10. closing of hood cover lock
11. closing of windows

NOTE Releasing the system control button during the latter phase, the windows stop.

5. hood cover lock
6. hood cover
7. hood movement (opening)
8. downward movement of 5th arc
9. closing of hood cover lock
10. closing of windows
