❒within 5 seconds, press and keep knob
A pressed; the sunroof will move au-
tomatically, during this stage keep on

of the sunroof can be dangerous. Be-
fore and during its operation ensure
that any passengers are not at risk
from the moving roof either by per-
sonal objects getting caught in the

rectly.
