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

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.
– Insert an Allen key (4 mm) into the opening as far as possible and close the sunroof.
