2015 MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class SEDAN panorama roof

!
Only open the sliding sunroof if it is free of
snow and ice. Otherwise, malfunctions may
occur.
Do not allow anything to protrude from the sliding sunroof. Otherwise, the seals could
be damaged.
! The weather can change abruptly. It could
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 inte-
rior.
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.
Only for vehicles with panorama roof with
power tilt/sliding panel: G
WARNING
At high speeds the raised sliding sunroof auto- matically 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, immediately
pull back the sliding sunroof switch. The slid- ing sunroof lifts during opening. Sliding sunroof reversing feature
Your vehicle may be equipped with a sliding
sunroof or a panorama roof with power tilt/
sliding panel. In this section, the term "sliding sunroof" refers to both types of sliding sun-
roof.
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. The automatic reversing feature is only an aid and is no substitute for
your attention when closing the sliding roof. G
WARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R over the last 1/6 in(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 feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that no body parts are in close
proximity during the closing procedure.
If somebody becomes trapped:
R release the switch immediately, or
R during automatic operation, push the
switch briefly in any direction

Important safety notes G
WARNING
When you load the roof, the center of gravity
of the vehicle rises and the driving character- istics change. If you exceed the maximum roof
load, the driving characteristics, as well as
steering and braking, will be greatly impaired. There is a risk of an accident.
Never exceed the maximum roof load and
adjust your driving style.
The maximum roof load can be found in the
"Technical data" (Y page 403).
! Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
only use roof carriers that have been tested
and approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
This helps to avoid damage to the vehicle.
Position the load on the roof carrier in such
a way that the vehicle will not sustain dam-
age even when it is in motion.
Depending on the vehicle equipment,
ensure that when the roof carrier is instal-
led you can:
R raise the sliding sunroof/panorama roof
with power tilt/sliding panel fully
R open the trunk lid fully
! To avoid damaging or scratching the cov-
ers, do not use metallic or hard objects to
open them. An incorrectly secured roof carrier or roof
load may become detached from the vehicle.
You must therefore ensure that you observe
the roof carrier manufacturer's installation
instructions.
Vehicles with a panorama roof with
power tilt/sliding panel: the panorama roof
with power tilt/sliding panel cannot be
opened if a roof carrier is installed. The pan-
orama roof with power tilt/sliding panel can
still be raised to allow ventilation of the vehi-
cle interior.
If the panorama roof with power tilt/sliding
panel makes contact with a roof carrier
approved by Mercedes-Benz, the sunroof will
lower slightly but remain raised at the rear.
Attaching the roof carrier X
Open covers 0043carefully in the direction of
the arrow.
X Fold covers 0043upwards.
X Only secure the roof carrier to the anchor-
age points under covers 0043.
X Observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions. Features
