Do not allow anything to protrude from the
sliding sunroof. Otherwise, the seals could
be damaged.
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.
To reduce or eliminate these noises:
R
change the position of the sliding sunroof
R
open a side window
R
open the sliding sunroof to the comfort
setting
Sliding sunroof reversing feature
The sliding sunroof is equipped with an auto-
matic reversing feature. If a solid object
blocks or restricts the sliding sunroof during
the closing process, the sliding sunroof opens
again automatically. The automatic reversing
function is only an aid and is not a substitute
for your attentiveness to the sliding sunroof
while it is closing.
G
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

body are in the closing area.
If someone is trapped:
