WARNINGBe careful when operating the sliding/tilting roof to avoid crushing injuries
– risk of injury!
CAUTION
During the winter it may be necessary to remove any ice and snow in the vicin-
ity of the sliding/tilting roof before opening it to prevent any damage to the
opening mechanism.
Force limiter
Read and observe
on page 45 first.
The sliding/tilting roof is fitted with a force limiter.
The sliding/tilting roof stops and moves back several centimetres when it can-
not be closed because there is something in the way (e.g. ice).
The sliding/tilting roof only closes without the force limiter activated at the
third attempt at closing. The time interval between the individual closing at-
tempts should not exceed 5 s - the sliding/tilting roof closes with full force! .

Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is on.
The arrangement of the controls right-hand drive models may differ from the layout shown in » Fig. 40 on page 47 . The symbols which mark the positions
of the controls are identical.
WARNING■ The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.■
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by oth-
er oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is
dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
■ The instruments are also illuminated when the side light or low beam light is
switched on.■
The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although
the headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist
has no influence on the life of the lighting system.
