Safety feature
If the glass roof encounters resistance
>
when it is closing from the raised
position
>
when closing at a point roughly past
the middle of its travel
the closing cycle is interrupted and the
glass roof will open again slightly.
Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful that the closing
path of the glass roof 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 resistance point
and holding it.

twenty seconds.
