Opening and closing sliding panel
Ignition key as of position 1:
> Push the switch up to the resistance

The sliding panel continues to move as
long as you continue to hold the switch

After switching off ignition
You can still operate the roof:
> Ignition key in position 1 for approx.
15 minutes
> In position 0 or with the ignition key
removed for approx. 1 minute, as long
as a door has not been opened.
For information on using the convenience
operation mode at the door lock or with the
remote control, refer to page
27 or 29 .
Anti-trapping mechanism
If the glass roof encounters resistance
when closing from the raised position, the
closing action is interrupted and the glass
roof opens.
If the sliding panel encounters resistance
when closing within approx. 8 in/20 cm, the
closing action is interrupted and the sliding
panel opens approx. 8 in/20 cm.
Despite the anti-trapping mechanism,
you should always inspect the roof's
travel range prior to closing it, as the safety
feature might fail to detect certain kinds of
obstructions, such as very thin objects, and
the roof would continue closing.
The anti-trapping mechanism for closing
the glass roof is deactivated if the switch is
pressed beyond the resistance point and
held there. The closing action is immedi-
ately interrupted when you release the
switch.
