THE SKYDOME SUNROOF
The Lancia Ypsilon can be
fitted as an option with a large glass sunroof (Skydome) that represents
a first for this segment and offers a new experience in car travel. The
latest-generation device occupies nearly 70 percent of the roof and consists
of two glazed panels (one fixed and one mobile) and two sunblinds that
run independently towards the rear of the car.
This system allows you to
choose how you wish to enjoy the outside world as you drive. When closed,
the Lancia Ypsilon can be converted to a car with a glass sunroof or a
car with a sunroof and the feel of a cabriolet.
Everything depends on the
outdoor temperature and the type of day. When you want to flood the passenger
compartment with light, you can close the glass part and open the underlying
blind.
If you'd rather travel in
an open-topped car, it takes just seven seconds to open the glass front
panel and blind fully to enjoy your very own window on the sky. Or you
could decide to open the front panel and the blind only partly. All you
have to do is press the key on the central courtesy light to move the front
panel. In the first position, the glass becomes a raised spoiler. When
you continue to press the control, it takes up intermediate positions by
sliding back on aluminium guides. Simply release the key to stop the movement
in the required position. The same movements take place in reverse during
closure.
The Skydome also comes with
an anti-obstruction system that reverses the motion of the glass panel
when it encounters an obstacle. |
