Rain-closing feature
When the key is in position 0 in the ignition lock
or is removed, the sliding sunroof closes auto-
matically:
R
if it starts to rain
R
at extreme outside temperatures
R
after six hours
R
if there is a malfunction in the power supply
The rear of the sliding sunroof is then raised in
order to ventilate the vehicle interior.
If the sliding sunroof is obstructed when being
closed by the rain-closing feature, it opens again
slightly. The rain-closing feature is then deacti-
vated.
The sliding sunroof does not close if:
R
it is raised at the rear.
R
it is blocked.
R
no rain is falling on the area of the windscreen
being monitored by the rain sensor, e.g.
because the vehicle is under a bridge or in a
carport.

If the panorama sliding sunroof is raised at the
rear, it automatically lowers slightly at higher
speeds. The noise level in the vehicle interior is
reduced as a result. At low speeds it raises again
automatically.
You can also temporarily deactivate automatic
lowering. To do so, press the

panorama sliding sunroof raises again automat-
ically.
You can continue to operate the panorama slid-
ing sunroof after switching off the engine or
removing the key. This function remains active
for five minutes or until you open a front door.
The panorama sliding sunroof cannot be opened
if a roof carrier is fitted. In order to allow venti-
lation of the vehicle interior, you can raise the
panorama sliding sunroof. If a roof carrier
approved by Mercedes-Benz makes contact
with the panorama sliding sunroof, the sunroof
will lower slightly but remain raised in the rear.
