! Only open the panorama sliding sunroof if
it is free of snow and ice. Otherwise, mal-
functions may occur.
Do not allow anything to protrude from the
sliding sunroof. Otherwise, the seals could
be damaged.
Resonance noises can occur in addition to the
usual airflow noises when the sliding sunroof
is open. They are caused by minor pressure
fluctuations in the vehicle interior. Change
the position of the sliding sunroof or open a
side window slightly to reduce or eliminate
these noises.
Only for vehicles with panorama sliding
sunroof:
G WARNING
At high speeds the raised sliding sunroof auto-
matically lowers slightly at the rear. This could
trap you or other persons. There is a risk of
injury. Make sure that nobody reaches into
the sweep of the sliding sunroof whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
If somebody becomes trapped, immediately
pull back the sliding sunroof switch. The slid-
ing sunroof lifts during opening.
Sliding sunroof reversing feature
Your vehicle may be fitted with a sliding sun-
roof or a panorama sliding sunroof. In this
section, the term "sliding sunroof" refers to
both types of sliding sunroof.
The sliding sunroof is equipped with an auto-
matic reversing feature. If an object blocks or
restricts the sliding sunroof during the closing
process, the sliding sunroof opens again
automatically. The automatic reversing fea-
ture is only an aid and is no substitute for your
attention when closing the sliding roof.
G WARNING
The reversing function does not react:
R
to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R
over the last 4 mm of the closing movement
R
during resetting
R
when closing the sliding sunroof again man-
ually immediately after automatic reversing
This means that the reversing function cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing make sure that no parts of the
body are in the closing area.
If someone is trapped:
R
release the switch immediately or
R
during automatic operation, press the
switch briefly in any direction
The closing process is stopped.
