SUNROOF
GENERAL
The HSV specific Sunroof is f itted as standard equipm ent on HSV Senator and Grange m odels and is available as
an option on other HSV VT m odels. The Sunroof is a tinted glass, electrically operated, two-way sliding and tilting
type, equipped with an internal sliding blind and fr ont edge wind deflector. T he Sunroof is oper ated by a roc k er type
switch (which is back-lit) centr ally located in the vehicle's headlining in f ront of the Sunroof vent aperture. Sunroof s
are equipped with a Sunroof Control Unit which provides several pre-programmed functions and the facility to
programme an additional option.
The pr e-programmed functions are:
Soft touch
By a single touch of the switch the roof can be fully opened to the max imum tilt position or the m axim um slide
position.
Variable tilt position
The panel c an be closed f rom tilt in f our steps by continuously press ing the switch and r eleasing in the des ired
position
Jamming protection (Safety Feature)
When closing the sunroof by soft touch or by autoclose, the sunroof automatically opens when it encounters an
obstacle. The roof will continue to try to close until the obstacle is removed.
Autoclose function
Three seconds after switching off the ignition the sunroof will close automatically. This can be prevented by
pressing the switch once within 3 seconds after the ignition is switched off.
One - way closing
This feature always closes the panel from above, assuring a flush fit of the panel.
The optional programmable function is:
Comfort position in the sliding range
W ith this f eature you will be able to program a preset stopping position of the panel in the sliding range of the
sunroof. The panel will stop at the preset position when opened via the soft touch operation.
OPERATION
Panel movement into the venting and sliding positions is controlled by:
Continuous control (pressing the switch longer than 0.3 seconds):
Full control over the panel movement in slide position
Releasing the switch will stop the panel movement
A full stop in maximum slide and closed position.
Four steps down tilt adjustment (pressing the switch longer than 0.3 seconds):
When closing the sunroof from minimum tilt position by pressing the switch continuously, the panel will stop
briefly in four intermediate positions.
Releasing the switch will stop the panel movement.
To continue the stepped operation, press the switch again.
One touch contro l (pressing and releasing the switch within 0.3 seconds):
Automatic panel movement towards full open or full closed position (slide and tilt).
Anti-jamming protection while closing.
The panel movement can be interrupted by pressing the switch.
Auto-close:
When the ignition is switched off, the roof will close after a 3-second delay.
Anti-jamming protection while closing.
Pressing the switch within 3 seconds after the ignition switch off will cancel Auto-close.
Closing the roof is still possible after Auto-close has been active.
Auto-close will not be activated if any other function is active.
Programming memory position
Any position in the sliding range of the panel can be programmed as a “comfort position”.
The panel will stop at that position when opened by One touch control.
One way closing
To ensure perfect positioning of the panel after closing, the panel will always close from above (even when
closed from a slide position).
Interior trim -
Sunshade
Sunshade operation depends on panel movement as below:
Moving the glass panel to tilt pos ition, the sunshade automatic ally opens to a vent position and can be m oved
to full open position by hand.
Moving the glass panel into s lide position, the sunshade will m ove together and can also be further opened by
hand.
Closing the sunshade always has to be done manually. The sunshade can only be closed com pletely when the
glass panel is in closed position.
Wind deflector
The wind defector automatically comes up when the panel moves into sliding positions and goes down when
the panel closes again.
SERVICE OPERATIONS
NOTE:
Dealers are to contact Hollandia Sunroofs directly by telephone on (02)9540-4811 before carrying out any service
operation on the Sunroof.

TESTING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Make sure that during the test of electrical components, the TVS unit is connected to a power source containing 12
to 14V. If the Sunroof is installed, the battery needs to be attached and operable. During testing the
ignition/accessory switch should be on. This test can be accomplished with a test light or voltage meter. Cable
harness and motor inspection requires the headliner to be removed.
Fuse
Visually inspect the fuse for damage.
Wire harness
Check if the power supply on the red and red/black wires is OK. Inspect for broken/damaged wires. Inspect for
proper connection to the sunroof control unit. The wire harness connector is numbered to aid in proper installation:
1 = red
2 = brown / red
3 = brown
4 = green
5 = red / black
Switch
Inspect for proper power supply to the TVS operating switch, accomplished by using a test light on the connector at
the switch bracket, operate switch connector to assure movement in front and rear sliding positions.
Motor
Disconnect the motor wire (green/black) from the sunroof control unit. Dismount the motor. Using a double wire of
sufficient length, connect direct to battery, inspect the motor for proper operation in both directions. This is
accomplished by reversing the connection of the double wire. The motor has an inbuilt thermal cut-out device that
automatically switches the motor off during periods of overload. After a cooling down period the motor will function
properly.
Sunroof Control Unit
Testing is covered in the electric trouble-shooting guide. The following failures could be the result of a broken

EXTRACTS FROM THE HOLLANDIA INSTALLATION MANUAL
SIDE SUPPORT BRACKETS CENTRE AND REAR
1. Remove clamps and gluetemplate after 30
seconds, Leave the jacks in place! Check
the curvature of the car roof near the
centrebrace with curvature gauge. If the car
roof is more curved than the curvature gauge
then a correction can be made by slightly
raising the jacks until the curvature of the
roofskin is equal to the curvature gauge.
If the curvature of the roofskin less curved
than the curvature gauge then a correction
can be made by lowering the jacks a little bit
until the curvature of the roofskin is equal to
the curvature of the curvature gauge.
NOTE:
Excessive correction can cause distortion in the
roofskin.
2. For each car model the side support brackets
have to be cut and bent to fit. Bending, cutting
and punching equipment can facilitate this
work. Place the wide brackets on each side
close to the centrebrace. The small brackets
are mounted as far to the rear as possible,
between the side rail and the frame.
3. The plastic cover m ust be on the bracket side
supporting the TVS frame.
4. Wrap paper masking tape around the part of
the bracket that will be attached to the side
rails. This avoids possible creaking.
5. Mount the support brackets to the side rails
with the supplied self tapping screws.
6. Remove the jacks.
7. Check the curvature of the car after installing
the support brackets.
INTERIOR TRIMMING
5. Mount the left and a right guide by placing the
integrated slide through the opening in the
side of the sunshade.
Lift the springs up with a screwdriver to apply
tension on the springs (see Figure 10).
Figure 10 - Finishing The Sunshade
GLASS PANEL (TVS 40)
1. Slide mechanism to tilt position.

Figure 14 - Adjust The Glass Panel
10. Check functioning of mechanism and adjustments. Repeat operation 6 till 9 to readjust the glass panel if
necessary.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
GENERAL
HSV VT models are fitted with a HSV design fire extinguisher. The extinguisher is located in the rear luggage
compartment.
SERVICE OPERATIONS
The fire extinguisher should be subjected to a regular visual inspection in accordance with the instructions on the
extinguisher. Par ticularly, the extinguisher should be inspec ted for dam age and to ensure that the integral pres sure
gauge registers the appropriate internal pressure. When discharged or when the internal pressure is outside the
prescribed limits, the extinguishers should be serviced and re-charged by an appropriate supplier. New
extinguishers are available through the HSV spare parts systems.
HSV INTEGRATED SECURITY SYSTEM
GENERAL
The new HSV Integrated Secu rity System (ISS) is fitted as s tandard equipment to all HSV VT and VS m odels. T he
ISS is a micro-processor controlled immobiliser which automatically isolates essential electrical circuits when the
ISS is armed and acc es s or y or ignition ‘ON’ is detected. The immobiliser is disar med us ing a valid ignition key code
and uniquely coded black tags which contain a small chip incorporating specific codes. The HSV ISS has been
improved for the VT range of vehicles. The vehicle no longer requires use of the black ISS tag each time the vehicle
is star ted. The ISS rec ords the ignition k ey code and will disarm when a valid vehic le ignition k ey is detected at the
key slip ring. Up to seven vehicle ignition keys and seven ISS black tags can be assigned to the vehicle if required.
NOTE:
IF THE KEY-HEAD BECOMES UNSERVICEABLE AND FAILS TO DISARM THE ISS, THE ISS MAY BE
DISARMED USING THE BLACK TAG UNTIL A REPLACEMENT KEY IS INTRODUCED.
INTRODUCING NEW KEYS
A red MASTER TAG is also supplied with each ISS. T his tag is used to place the ISS into `Learn’ m ode: touching
the red tag to the status monitor (located in the glove box ) will caus e the LED f lash rate to incr ease which indicates
that learn mode is operative. In this mode, codes for lost tags/keys may be overwritten and new keys/tags m ay be
introduced as follows:
With the ISS in learn m ode, insert ignition k ey and turn ignition switch to ‘IGN ON’ position. T he status m onitor
will change to indicate ignition k ey code has been s uccess fully stored (LED goes of f). ISS will retur n to nor mal
mode. Retouch red tag if more ignition keys are to be introduced.
With ISS in learn mode, touch new black tag to receptacle for approximately 2 secs. Status monitor LED will
change to indicate key code has been successfully stored (LED on). ISS will return to normal mode. Retouch
red tag if more black tags are to be introduced.
NOTE:
THE ISS WILL RECOGNISE SEVEN KEY AND TAG CODES. IF A TAG OR KEY IS LOST, THE
REMAINING/NEW CODES MUST BE ENTERED SEVEN T IMES TO ENSURE THAT THE CO DE FO R T H E LOST
KEY OR TAG HAS BEEN OVERWRITTEN AND CANNOT DISARM THE ISS.
NOTE:
RED TAGS MUST BE STORED IN A SECURE LOCATION REMOTE FROM THE VEHICLE. DO NOT STORE
RED TAG IN VEHICLE. LO SS OF A RED TAG WILL REQ UIRE REPLACEMENT OF T HE ISS SYSTEM IF KEYS
ARE LOST OR DAMAGED
VICE OPERATIONS
If an ignition key has been damaged and does not transfer a valid code, the ISS may be disarmed by touching a
valid black tag to the status monitor: this will transmit code to the BCM and enable vehicle start No periodic
servicing of the ISS is required and no additional information is provided or available on the system. HSV dealers
are not authorised to carry out any servicing operations on the ISS system. All requests for information and/or
assistanc e are to be f orwarded directly to the Service Manager at HSV. Bef ore mak ing this request and at any time
that correct operation of the ISS is suspected, the following functional check should be performed:
Check ISS status monitor (located in glovebox) to ensure ISS is in armed mode—i.e. slow flash
Place a piece of tape over the ignition key slip ring contact to break the electrical circuit between ignition key
and ignition barrel slip ring,
Turn key to start position—vehicle should not start.

ELECTROCHROMIC M IRRORS
GENERAL
Electrochromic mirrors are a standard fitment to all VT Senator Signature Estate vehicles and to all vehicles fitted
with a Sunroof. The mirror features an electronically controlled mirror cell which changes colour in response to an
applied electrical voltage. This allows autom atic dark ening of the m irror during night dr iving when the headlamps of
a following vehicle shine on an integrated light s ensor. T his function only operates when the integral sens or detec ts
low ambient (i.e. at night time). The mirror also incorporates two manually operated map lights - separately switched
for passenger and driver. (Lights also illuminate in conjunction with interior lamp when activated by door switches.
The mirror operates automatically however, an AUTO/MANUAL switch provides the driver with the option for the
mirror to be darkened during low ambient light conditions regardless of presence or absence of following
headlamps. When reverse gear is selected, the mirror automatically lightens.
SERVICE OPERATIONS
No specific servicing of the m irror is required. T o replace m ap light globes use a s mall s crew driver to pris e out the
lens assembly to reveal a wedge-base five watt (5.0 W) globe (see Figure J-11). Refit lens assembly by inserting
the end closest to centre of m irror f irst - ens ure lam p bulb pass es through hole in s ide of lens assem bly. The m irror
is fitted with a short harness which connects to the HSV electrochromic mirror harness above the headlining near
the mirror: this harness runs across the headlining and down the `A’ Pillar to the main wiring harness which provides
connections to the battery, door switch, ignition, reverse lamps and ground.

HSV FOG LAMPS
GENERAL
HSV Fog lamps are fitted directly to the front fas cia of all HSV VT models except Manta (which is fitted with GMHA
lamp s) . The HSV lamp s us e a glas s c onvex r ef lector to provide a wide-angle beam c onc entrated in a r ange of 30 to
40 metres in front of the lamp. The external lens incorporates a clear horizontal section .
SERVICE OPERATION
No periodic ser vicing of the HSV lam ps is r equired however, occ asional r e-alignm ent may be necessar y. Alignm ent
is altered by m inute adjustm ents of the three mounting sc rews. Fog lamps are adjusted to foc us on a central ‘HOT
SPOT ’ 5.0 centim etres below the above ground height of the lam p (with the car levelled to norm al operating height)
at a distance of 25 metres from the bumper bar of the vehicle. Globes may be replaced without altering the
alignment by removing a water-tight access cover on the underside of the lamp (see Figure J-12): unclip the two
spring clips which retain the globe carrier at the focal point of the reflector. Replacement fog lamps available
through HSV are identified as follows
12C-970601 LAMP FOG LEFT HAND
12C-970602 LAMP FOG RIGHT HAND
NOTE:
CONDENSATION MAY APPEAR ON THE LENS OF THE FOG LAMP WHEN APPROPRIATE AMBIENT
CONDITIONS EXIST. THIS CONDENSATION WILL CLEAR AS THE AMBIENT CONDITIONS CHANGE OR
AFTER FOUR OR FIVE MINUTES OPERATION OF THE FOG LAMPS
