Sliding/Tilt sunroof

To prevent injuries, exercise care
when closing the sliding/tilt sun-

roof and keep it in your field of vision
until it is shut.
Before leaving the car, switch off the
electric sunroof mechanism by taking
out the ignition key. Do not leave
children unattended in the vehicle with
access to vehicle keys. Use of the key
can result in starting of the engine and
operation of vehicle systems such as
power sunroof, etc. Unsupervised use
of these systems can result in serious
personal injury.

To avoid pressure or drafts in the pas-
senger compartment when the sunroof
is open or lifted, keep the air vents in
the dashboard open and increase
the air supply if necessary. Refer to

For the convenience operating mode
via the door lock or the radio remote
control, refer to page

or page

Safety feature

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

Despite this safety feature, be ex-
tremely 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
override this safety feature by pressing
the switch beyond the resistance point
and holding it.

Lifting – opening – closing

From ignition key position 1 press the
switch or slide it to the desired direction
until you feel resistance.

When lifting, the headliner retracts sev-
eral inches.

You can continue to operate the sun-
roof after the ignition has been
switched off as long as one of the front
doors has not been opened.
