Raising
From ignition key position 1: briefly 
press the switch.
Pressing the switch again halts the 
movement immediately.
If you briefly press the switch in the 
'Raise' direction when the sunroof is 
open, the sunroof moves to the 'Raised' 
limit position.
After the ignition is switched off: you 
can still operate the sunroof for up to 
15 minutes, unless a front door was 
opened.
The deflector is pushed back slightly as 
the roof panel rises.
Do not force the deflector closed 
when the roof is raised, as this 
would damage the actuating mecha-
nism. When leaving the car, always take 
out the ignition key and close the doors, 
otherwise children, for example, could 
operate the roof and possibly injure 
themselves.

Anti-trap protection
If the glass sunroof encounters resist-
ance in any position more than approxi-
mately midway along its closing move-
ment, or as it closes from the raised 
position, the closing operation is inter-
rupted and the glass sunroof reopens 
slightly.
Despite this anti-trap protection, 
always make sure that the roof is 
unobstructed when it is closed, since in 
extreme cases the closing movement 
might not be interrupted, for example 
by very thin objects.
You can restrict anti-trap retraction by 
pressing the switch past the pressure 
point and holding it down. The roof 
opens only a short distance. The pro-
tective function is deactivated if you 
press the switch past the pressure 
point again within approximately 
2 seconds and hold it down.
<
Manual operation
If there is an electrical defect, the glass 
sunroof can be operated manually.
1. Pull out the switch, reach into the 
aperture and press out the cover
2. Use the Allen key from the car's 
toolkit, see page 
glass sunroof in the required direc-
tion.
Initialising glass sunroof
If the glass sunroof no longer 
opens or closes automatically 
after being operated manually, it has to 
be initialised.
