Sunroof opening motor: Initialisation

~1min read
Moteur d'ouverture de toit ouvrant : Initialisation
IMPORTANT
  • If the battery is disconnected, an electrical fault occurs or the sunroof is worked on, the system will only operate in manual mode, with jerky movement.
  • the anti-pinch function is only operational if the sunroof has been correctly initialised (see below).
  • Initialise the motor:
  • set switch (1) to the closed position,
  • press and hold the switch for at least two seconds: the motor moves in step-by-step mode, then lowers a few centimetres,
  • release the switch,
  • press the switch again within 5 seconds,
  • hold the switch: the sunroof opens then closes to the slide position,
  • the motor is initialised,
  • set the switch to "off".

In some cases, only the first three steps are sufficient for initialisation.

WARNING

It is important to wait at least 3 seconds before any new action on the control.

Note: A time of 5 seconds must not be exceeded between two actions during the initialisation procedure, otherwise the electronics will start a new initialisation cycle.
