Sliding/tilt sunroof

The headliner insert slides back some-
what when you raise the sunroof. When
the sunroof is opened, the headliner
retracts with it.

Do not use force to close the
headliner insert with the sunroof in

its raised position, as damage to the
mechanism could result.

For the convenience mode via the door
lock, refer to page

Automatic opening and closing

Press the switch briefly past the pres-
sure point: the sunroof travels to either
the fully-closed or fully-open position.

Pressing the switch again stops the
motion immediately.

Safety feature

If the sliding/tilt sunroof encounters
resistance

when it is closing from the raised
position

when it is closing from a point
roughly past the middle of its travel,

the closing cycle is interrupted and the
sliding/tilt sunroof will open again
slightly.

Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful that the travel

path of the sunroof is not obstructed
whenever it is closed. Remember that
the safety mechanism may not be able
to detect obstructions under all circum-
stances (with very thin objects, for
instance).
You can disable this safety feature by
pressing the switch beyond the pres-
sure point and holding it.

Manual operation

In the event of an electrical malfunction,
you can also operate the sliding/tilt
sunroof manually:

1. Remove the interior lamp, then reach

into the exposed opening and press
out the cover

2. Use the Allen key from the onboard

tool kit, refer to page

124

to turn the

sliding/tilt sunroof in the desired
direction.
