SYSTEM COMPONENTS

An electronic control unit controls the entire electrohydraulic system which performs the automatic hood opening/closing cycle.

The hood is operated pressing the special button to be found on the centre tunnel. Next to the button there is a led.

There are a number of sensors on the locks of the hood and of the hood cover and on the hood operating cylinders.

As a result of the information received from the sensors, the control unit commands the locking and release of the locks of the hood and hood cover through special electric motors and controls the hydraulic system of the cylinders of the hood, 5th arc and hood cover.

The system is completed by a set of specific relays and fuses.
