Solar roof*
The solar cel ls in the roof provide energy to operate the ventilation
system for the climate control. It is ac tivated automatically after the

the interior is dehumid ified .
The interior trim is permanently attached to the solar roof and cannot be s lid separate ly .
S olar prote ction w ith sliding gla ss sun roof*
The s liding glass sun ro of is equipped with an adjustable sunshade
to reduce the effects of strong sun light. The solar protection can be
moved at the recessed ha ndle to o pen and close it. To p revent the
vehic le interior from heating up, you shou ld c lose the solar protec ­
tion when you park your vehicle in the sun.
When the roof is
slid open , the sunshad e is opened aut omat ically.
When the roof is c losed, the sunshade can be closed manual ly.
When the roof is
tilt ed open, the closed sunshade is also raised at
the rear edge . But it can still be sl id open or closed.
0 Note
You shou ld always closed the sliding/ti lting sun roof when you leave
your vehic le. Sudden rain can drench the interior equipment and
