WARNING
At high speeds the raised sliding sunroof
automatically lowers slightly at the rear. This

of injury. Make sure that nobody reaches into
the sweep of the sliding sunroof whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
If somebody becomes trapped, immediately
pull back the sliding sunroof switch. The
sliding sunroof lifts during opening.

of snow and ice. Otherwise, malfunctions
may occur.

start to rain or snow. Make sure that the
sliding sunroof is closed when you leave the
vehicle. The vehicle electronics can be
damaged if water enters the vehicle
interior.
i Resonance noises can occur in addition
to the usual airflow noises when the sliding
sunroof is open. They are caused by minor
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
automatic reversing feature. If a solid object
blocks or restricts the sliding sunroof during

reversing feature is only an aid and does not
relieve you of the responsibility of paying
attention when closing the sliding sunroof. G

R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small
fingers
R over the last 1/6 in(4 mm) of the closing
movement
R during resetting
R when closing the sliding sunroof again
manually immediately after automatic
reversing
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these
