GLASS SUNROOF, ELECTRIC
*
ROLLER SUN BLIND
Trap protection
If, while closing, the glass sunroof encoun-
ters resistance within roughly the last 8 in / 
20 cm, the closing procedure is interrupted 
and the roof reopens.
Despite the trap protection, be 
extremely careful that the travel path 
of the sunroof is not obstructed whenever 
it is closed. Otherwise, it is not guaranteed 
that the closing procedure will be inter-
rupted, for instance if the obstructions 
offer very little resistance. 
You can disable the trap protection by 
pressing the switch past the pressure point 
and holding it. When closing the sunroof 
from the raised position, ensure that the 
travel path of the sunroof is not obstructed 
since the trap protection is not active in 
this position.
