Overview

Sliding/Tilt sunroof with glass moonroof

Automatic

opening and closing

Press the switch past the resistance
point and then release it.

Other automatic operations are:

With the sunroof open, press the
switch briefly toward "Lift:" the sun-
roof automatically extends to its fully
raised position.

With the sunroof raised, hold the
control switch toward "Open" until
the roof has reached the desired
position.

Pressing the switch again briefly stops
the motion.

Safety feature

If the sliding/tilt sunroof encounters
resistance at a point roughly past the
middle of its travel when it is closing,
the closing cycle is interrupted and the
sliding/tilt sunroof will open again
slightly.

Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful that the closing

path of the sunroof is not obstructed
whenever it is closed. Otherwise, trig-
gering the closing-force limitation may
not be ensured in some situations (with
very thin objects, for instance). You can
disable this safety feature by pressing
the switch beyond the pressure point
and holding it.

Power loss or malfunction

After interruptions in the electrical sup-
ply (when the battery is disconnected,
for instance), the sunroof may only lift.
To reinitialize the mechanism:

1 Raise the sliding/tilt sunroof fully.
2 Press and hold the switch for approx-

imately twenty seconds.

3 In the event of an electrical malfunc-

tion, you can also operate the sliding/
tilt sunroof manually. Refer to
