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 fluc-
tuations in the vehicle interior. Change the posi-
tion of the sliding sunroof or open a side window
slightly. This will lessen or eliminate the noise.
Sliding sunroof reversing feature
Your vehicle may be fitted with a sliding sunroof
or a panorama sliding sunroof. In the following
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 auto-
matically. The automatic reversing feature is,
however, only an aid and is no substitute for your
attention when closing the sliding roof.

WARNING
The reversing feature 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 feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing make sure that no body parts
are in the closing area.
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 stopped.

You can continue to operate the sliding sunroof
after switching off the engine or removing the
key. This function remains active for five
minutes or until the driver's or front-passenger
door is opened.
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.

closed by the rain-closing feature, it opens again
