opening and closing
Press the switch past the resistance
point briefly: The sunroof travels to ei-
ther the fully-closed or fully-open posi-
tion.
Other automatic operations are:
> With the sunroof open, press the
switch briefly toward "Lift:"
The sunroof automatically extends to
its fully raised position.
> With the sunroof raised, press the
switch briefly toward "Open:"
The sunroof automatically extends to
the "Open" position.
Pressing the switch again stops the
motion immediately.
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
sunroof will open again slightly.
Despite this safety feature, be ex-
tremely careful to ensure that the
closing path of the roof is not ob-
structed. Otherwise, triggering the clos-
ing-force limitation may not be ensured
in some situations (with very thin ob-
jects, for instance). You can disable this
safety feature by pressing the switch
beyond the pressure point and holding
it.

Sliding/Tilt sunroof with glass
moonroof
*
The options and control procedures are
essentially the same as those previously
described for the sliding/tilt sunroof. In
order to open the raised roof, press the
control switch towards "Open" until the
roof has reached the desired position.
The headliner insert slides back some-
what when you raise the sunroof. When
the sunroof is opened, the headliner
retracts with it. The headliner will then
automatically remain in its retracted
position, but can be repositioned as
desired.
Power loss or malfunction
Following a power interruption (if the
battery is disconnected, for instance),
the sunroof can only be raised in some
circumstances. To correct this situation:
1 Raise the sliding/tilt sunroof fully.
2 Press and hold the switch for approx.
20 seconds.
In the event of an electrical system mal-
function, the sliding/tilt sunroof can be
manually operated. Refer to page
157 .
