Sliding/tilt sunroof*
Always close the sliding/tilt sun-
roof carefully, so that injuries are
avoided.
When leaving the car, always take out
the ignition key and close the doors, so
that children cannot operate the sun-
roof and possibly injure themselves.
<
Raising – opening – closing
From ignition key position 1
You can operate the electric sunroof for
up to 15 minutes after switching off the
ignition, unless a front door was
opened and closed in the meantime.
Raising/opening/closing: press down
the switch and/or slide it in the desired
direction to the detent position.
If you briefly press the switch in the
"Raise" direction when the sunroof is
open, the sunroof moves to the
"Raised" limit position.
The deflector is pushed back slightly as
the roof panel rises, and moves with the
panel as it opens.
Do not force the deflector closed
when the roof is raised, as this
would damage the actuating mecha-
nism.
<
For convenient opening and closure by
the door lock or remote control, see
pages 32 and page 34.
Automatic opening and closing
Press the switch beyond the initial
detent position: the roof panel will move
to the limit of its travel.
Touching the switch again halts the
movement immediately.
Protective function
If the sliding/tilt sunroof encounters
resistance
>
when closing from the raised position
>
when closing from approximately the
half-closed position
the closing operation is interrupted and
the roof reopens slightly.
