The power sunroof only works when the ignition is on. You can still open or close the power sunroof 
for several minutes after you switch off the ignition, as long as the driver or front passenger door has 
not been opened. 
All procedures are interrupted as soon as the rotary switch is operated. 
The sunshade opens automatically when the power sunroof opens if the shade was previously 
completely closed or in front of the glass roof. The sunshade remains in the previous position and 
does not close automatically with the sunroof. The sunshade cannot be closed completely until the 
power sunroof is closed. 
If your power sunroof will not close properly, do not try to close it yourself, doing so can cause serious 
and expensive damage that will not be covered by any Volkswagen Limited Warranty. Special 
knowledge and tools are required to close the power sunroof if it will not close on its own. To help 
prevent damage to the sunroof, have an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen 
Service Facility help you close and repair the power sunroof.
