When closing the panorama sliding/pop-up
roof, ensure that no one is in danger of being
injured.
If the panorama sliding/pop-up roof is
closed with the convenience closing feature
and becomes blocked, it will not open auto-
matically.
Should this occur, press the release button
on the key and hold it down; the panorama
sliding/pop-up roof opens again.
Make sure to remove the key from the igni-
tion lock even when leaving the vehicle for
only a brief period of time.
In the event of an accident, the glass in ve-
hicles with a glass roof may shatter.
If the vehicle rolls over, there is a danger of
occupants without fastened seat belts being
thrown out of the opening.
In this case there is an increased risk of in-
jury even for passengers with fastened seat
belts, as entire body parts or portions of
them may protrude from the passenger
compartment.

Solar panel*
Combined with the panorama slid-

The solar cells convert natural light into
electrical energy. When the engine is
switched off, the energy generated auto-
matically switches on the ventilation fan.
The constant air flow creates a cooler tem-
perature for cars parked in the sunlight.
The air flow depends on the intensity of the
solar radiation. The ventilation starts 2
minutes after switching off the engine.
