Sliding sunroof

Important safety notes

Your vehicle may be equipped with a sliding

sunroof or a panorama roof with power tilt/

sliding panel. In the following section, the

term "sliding sunroof" refers to both types of

sliding sunroof.

WARNING

When opening or closing the sliding sunroof,

make sure that there is no danger of anyone

being harmed by the opening/closing

procedure.
The sliding sunroof is equipped with

automatic operation and the anti-entrapment

feature. If the movement of the sliding sunroof

is blocked during the closing procedure, the

sliding sunroof will stop and open slightly.
The sliding sunroof operates differently when

the sliding sunroof switch is pressed and held.

See the "Problems with the sliding sunroof"

section for more details.
The opening/closing procedure of the sliding

sunroof can be immediately halted by

releasing the sliding sunroof switch or, if the

sliding sunroof switch was moved past the

resistance point and released, by moving the

sliding sunroof switch in any direction.

G

WARNING

The sliding sunroof is made out of glass. In the

event of an accident, the glass may shatter.

This may result in an opening in the roof.
In a vehicle rollover, occupants not wearing

their seat belts or not wearing them properly

may be thrown out of the opening. Such an

opening also presents a potential for injury for

occupants wearing their seat belts properly,

as entire body parts or portions of them may

protrude from the passenger compartment.

!

Only open the sliding sunroof if it is free

of snow and ice. Otherwise, malfunctions

may occur.
Do not allow anything to protrude from the

sliding sunroof. Otherwise, the seals could

be damaged.

!

The weather can change abruptly. It could

start to rain or snow. Make sure that the

sliding sunroof is closed when you leave the

vehicle. The vehicle electronics can be

damaged if water enters the vehicle

interior.

i

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.
