Problems with the side windows
G
WARNING
If you close a side window again immediately
after it has been blocked or reset, the side
window closes with increased or maximum
force. The reversing function is then not
active. Parts of the body could be trapped in

increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Make sure that no parts of the body are in the
closing area. To stop the closing process,
release the switch or push the switch again to
reopen the side window.
Problem: a side window cannot be closed
because it is blocked by objects, e.g.
leaves in the window guide.
X Remove the objects.
X Close the side window.

Important safety notes
In
the following section, the term "sliding sun-
roof" refers to the panorama sliding sunroof. G
WARNING
While opening and closing the sliding sunroof,
body parts in close proximity could become
trapped. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that no body parts are in close
proximity

during the opening and closing pro-
cedures.
If somebody becomes trapped:
R release the switch immediately, or
R during automatic operation, push the
switch briefly in any direction
The opening or closing procedure will be stop-
ped. G
WARNING
If children operate the sliding sunroof they
could
become trapped, particularly if they are
left unsupervised. There is a risk of injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key
with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave
children unattended in the vehicle. G
WARNING
At high speeds the sliding sunroof automati-
cally
lowers slightly at the rear. This could trap
you or other persons. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that nobody reaches into the
sweep of the sliding sunroof whilst the vehicle
is in motion.
If somebody becomes trapped, reduce speed
immediately, paying attention to road and
traffic conditions. The sliding sunroof opens
again to its original position.
If the maximum position is not reached, you
can raise it further.
! Only open the panorama sliding sunroof
if it is free of snow and ice. Otherwise, mal-
functions may occur.
Do not allow anything to protrude from the
sliding sunroof. Otherwise, the seals could
be damaged.
i Resonance noises can occur in addition
to the usual airflow noises when the sliding
sunroof is open. They are caused by minor 86
Panorama sliding sunroof
Opening and closing

pressure fluctuations in the vehicle interior.
Change the position of the sliding sunroof
or
open a side window slightly to reduce or
eliminate these noises. Sliding sunroof reversing feature
The
sliding sunroof is equipped with an auto-
matic reversing feature. If a solid object
blocks or restricts the sliding sunroof during
the closing process, the sliding sunroof opens
again automatically. However, the automatic
reversing feature is only an aid and does not
relieve you of the responsibility to pay atten-
tion when closing the sliding sunroof. G
WARNING
The reversing function does not react:
R to

soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R over the last 4 mm of the closing movement
R during resetting
R when closing the sliding sunroof again man-
ually immediately after automatic reversing
This means that the reversing function cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing make sure that no parts of the
body are in the closing area.
If someone is trapped:
R release the switch immediately or
R press the switch in any direction during the
automatic closing process
