snow and ice. Otherwise, malfunctions may
occur.

ing sunroof is closed when you leave the vehi-
cle. The vehicle electronics can be damaged if

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/slid-
ing panel. In this section, the term "sliding sun-
roof" refers to both types of sliding sunroof.
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 auto-
matically. The automatic reversing feature is
only an aid and is no substitute for your attention
when closing the sliding roof. G WARNING

gers R
over the last 1/6 in (4 mm) of the closing
movement R

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.

proximity during the closing procedure.
If somebody becomes trapped: R
