Glass sunroof, electric*
Watch the glass sunroof while it is
closing, to avoid any injuries.
When leaving the vehicle, always take
the ignition key with you and close the
doors, since children could otherwise
operate the sunroof and injure them-
selves.
<
Raising the glass sunroof
With the ignition key in position 1 or
higher: press the switch.
>
If the glass sunroof is in the closed
position, it is raised and the headliner
insert opens slightly.
>
If the glass sunroof is open, it moves
automatically to its raised position.
The headliner insert remains fully
open.
Do not try to forcibly close the
headliner insert when the sunroof
is in the raised position, or its mechani-
cal parts will be damaged.
<
Opening and closing
With the ignition key in position 1 or
higher
>
Slide the switch back until you feel
resistance.
The glass sunroof and the headliner
insert open at the same time as long
as you keep the switch held in this
position.
>
Slide the switch back beyond the
pressure point.
The glass sunroof and the headliner
insert open automatically. Tapping
the switch again stops the opening
cycle.
You can close the glass sunroof in the
same manner by sliding the switch for-
ward. The headliner insert stays open
and must be closed manually.
After the ignition has been switched off,
you can still operate the sunroof for up
to 15 minutes, as long as no one opens
either of the doors.
For convenience closing via the door
lock or the remote control, refer to
pages
30 and 32 .
Trap protection
If the glass sunroof encounters resis-
tance when closing from approximately
the half-closed position or when closing
from the raised position, the closing
operation is interrupted and the glass
sunroof reopens slightly.
