with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave
children unattended in the vehicle.

if it is free of snow and ice. Otherwise, mal-
functions may occur.
Do not allow anything to protrude from the
sliding sunroof. Otherwise, the seals could
be damaged.

Resonance noises can occur in addition

to the usual airflow noises when the sliding

sunroof is open. They are caused by minor
pressure fluctuations in the vehicle interior.
Change the position of the sliding sunroof
or open a side window slightly to reduce or
eliminate these noises.

Sliding sunroof reversing feature

The sliding sunroof is equipped with an auto-
matic reversing feature. If an object blocks or
restricts the sliding sunroof during the closing
process, the sliding sunroof opens again
automatically. The automatic reversing fea-
ture is however only an aid and is no substi-
tute for your attention when closing the slid-
ing roof.

WARNING

The reversing function does not react:

R

to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers

R

over the last 4 mm of the closing movement

R

during resetting

R

when closing the sliding sunroof again man-
ually immediately after automatic reversing

This means that the reversing function cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing make sure that no parts of the
body are in the closing area.
If someone is trapped:

R

release the switch immediately or

R

press the switch in any direction during the
automatic closing process

The closing process is stopped.
