Trap protection
If, while closing, the glass sunroof encoun-
ters resistance within roughly the last 8 in/
20 cm, the closing procedure is interrupted
and the roof reopens.
Despite the trap protection, be
extremely careful that the travel path
of the sunroof is not obstructed whenever
it is closed. Otherwise, it is not guaranteed
that the closing procedure will be inter-
rupted, for instance if the obstructions
offer very little resistance.
You can disable the trap protection by
pressing the switch past the pressure point
and holding it. When closing the sunroof
from the raised position, ensure that the
travel path of the sunroof is not obstructed
since the trap protection is not active in
this position.
