Unlocking and locking
86•Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle, particularly if
they have access to the keys. Unsupervised use of a key could mean that
the engine is started or that electrical equipment is used (e.g. electric
tilting sunroof) with a risk of accident. The doors can be locked using the
remote control key. This could make the aid difficult in an emergency situ-
ation.•The tilting sunroof continues to function until one of the front doors is
opened and the key removed from the ignition.•Ensure that no object and/or end is between the glass and the roof
when the one-touch opening/closing function is reset.
Convenience closing* Using the door lock
– Hold the key in the door lock of the driver door in the locking position until the tilting sunroof is closed.

Using the remote control
– Push the lock button on the remote control for about 3 seconds. The tilting roof closes.

Roll-back function of the panorama/ tilting roof*The panorama/ tilting roof has a roll-back function which prevents larger
objects getting trapped when the roof is closed. The roll-back function does
not prevent fingers getting pinched against the roof opening. The tilting
sunroof stops and opens again immediately if it is obstructed when closing.Operation in case of breakdown
In case of a breakdown, the sunroof may be closed manually.– Remove the plastic cover by inserting a screwdriver into the rear section.

least 25 cm between the steering wheel and your chest ⇒fig. 99 . If you fail
to observe the minimum distance, the airbag will not protect you. Risk of
fatal injury.•If your physical constitution does not allow you to maintain the
minimum distance of 25 cm, contact an Authorised Service Centre. The
Authorised Service Centre will help you to decide if special specific modifi-
cations are necessary.•If you adjust the steering wheel so that it points towards your face, the
