1995 Volvo 940

Electrically-operated sun roof

The switch for operating the sun roof is located on the instrument panel. The starting (ignition) key must first be turned to the drive position.

To slide open the sun roof : press the lower section of the switch.

To close the sun-roof : press the upper section of the switch until the sun roof has closed completely .

To open the rear edge of the sun roof (ventilation position) : press the upper section of the switch. Press the lower section of the switch to return the sun roof to the closed position.

Sun shade

The sun roof also features a manually-operated sliding sun visor. The sun visor automatically slides back slightly when the sun roof is opened to the ventilation position.
CAUTION: Do not close the sun visor when the sun roof is in the ventilation position as this could damage the mechanism.

WARNING! The sun roof must never be obstructed in any way when in operation.

NOTE:

The electrically-operated sun roof has an overload protecting circuit breaker which is activated when an object blocks the sun roof. Should this occur, remove the object and wait 20 seconds for the circuit breaker to reset. The sun roof should then function normally. In case of a sun roof malfunction, see "Service diagnosis", page 6:18.

To help alleviate "rumbling" wind noise when the sun roof is open, adjust the position slightly (open/close) or open a rear window slightly.
