GLASS SUNROOF, ELECTRIC * ROLLER SUN BLIND *
Pinch protection system
If, while closing, the glass sunroof encoun-
ters resistance within roughly the last 8 in/
20 cm, the closing procedure is interrupted
and the roof reopens.
Despite the pinch protection system,
make sure that the travel path of the
sunroof is not obstructed whenever it is
closed. Otherwise, it is not guaranteed that
the closing procedure will be interrupted,
for instance if the obstructions are thin.
<
Closing without the pinch protection sys-
tem:
You can disable the pinch protection sys-
tem by pressing the switch past the pres-
sure point and holding it. When closing the
sunroof from the raised position, ensure
that its travel path is not obstructed, since
the pinch protection system is not active in
this position.
