Important safety notes
G WARNING
Parts of the body could become trapped
between the roller sunblind and frame or slid-
ing sunroof during automatic opening or clos-
ing. There is a risk of injury.
When opening or closing, make sure that no
body parts are in the sweep of the roller sun-
blind.
If someone is trapped:
R
release the switch immediately or
R
press the switch in any direction during the
automatic opening/closing process
The opening/closing process is briefly stop-
ped. The roller sunblind then returns to its ini-
tial position.
The roller sunblind shields the vehicle interior
from sunlight. The two roller sunblinds can
only be opened and closed together when the
panorama sliding sunroof is closed.
Roller sunblind reversing feature
The roller sunblind is equipped with an auto-
matic reversing feature. If an object blocks or
restricts the roller sunblind during the closing
process, the roller sunblind opens again auto-
matically. The automatic reversing feature is,
however, only an aid and is no substitute for
your attention when closing the roller sun-
blind.
G WARNING
The reversing function does not react in par-
ticular to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small
fingers. This means that the reversing feature
cannot prevent someone being trapped in
these situations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing the roller sunblind, make sure
that no body parts are in the sweep.
If someone is trapped:
R
release the switch immediately or
R
press the switch in any direction during the
automatic closing process
The closing process is briefly stopped. The
roller sunblind then returns to its initial posi-
tion.
