automatic reversal function will stop the
tilt/sliding panel and open it slightly.
The tilt/sliding panel operates differently
when the roof panel switch is pressed and
held. See the “Closing when the tilt/sliding
panel is blocked” section in this chapter for
details.
The opening/closing procedure of the tilt/
sliding panel can be immediately halted by
releasing the roof panel switch or, if the roof
panel switch was moved past the
resistance point and released, by moving
the roof panel switch in any direction.
The panorama roof with tilt/sliding panel 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.
!
To avoid damaging the seals, do not
transport any objects with sharp edges
which can stick out of the tilt/sliding panel.
Do not open the tilt/sliding panel if there is
snow or ice on the roof, as this could result
in malfunctions.
!
Please keep in mind that weather
conditions can sometimes change rapidly.
Make sure to close the tilt/sliding panel
when leaving the vehicle. If water enters
the vehicle interior, vehicle electronics
could be damaged which is not covered by
the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
