2016 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA-Class ron

GWARNING
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.
!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.
iResonance 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
In the following section, the term "sliding sun-
roof" refers to the panorama roof with power
tilt/sliding panel.
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. However, the automatic
reversing feature is only an aid and does not
relieve you of the responsibility of paying
attention when closing the sliding sunroof.
GWARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
Rto soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
Rover the last 1/6 in (4 mm) of the closing
movement
Rduring resetting
Rwhen 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:
Rrelease the switch immediately, or
Rpress the switch in any direction during the
automatic closing process
The closing process is stopped.

sponding direction.
If you press/pull the 3switch beyond the
point of resistance, automatic operation is

After opening the sliding sunroof, the roller
sunblind closes slightly automatically. This
reduces drafts in the vehicle interior.
If the sliding sunroof is raised at the rear, it
lowers slightly automatically at higher
speeds. The noise level in the vehicle interior
is reduced as a result.
At low speeds it raises again automatically.
You can also temporarily deactivate auto-
matic lowering. To do so, press the 3
switch. The sliding sunroof raises again auto-
matically.
You can continue to operate the sliding sun-
roof after switching off the engine or remov-
ing the SmartKey from the ignition lock. This
function remains active for five minutes or
until you open a front door.
The sliding sunroof cannot be opened if a roof
carrier is installed. In order to allow ventila-
tion of the vehicle interior, you can raise the
sliding sunroof.
If contact is made with a roof carrier approved
by Mercedes-Benz, the sliding sunroof lowers
slightly but remains raised at the rear.
Rain-closing feature
The rain-closing feature is only available for
vehicles with a rain sensor.
When the SmartKey is in position 0in the
ignition lock or is removed, the sliding sunroof
closes automatically:
Rif it starts to rain.
Rat extreme outside temperatures.
Rafter six hours.
Rif there is a malfunction in the power sup-
ply.
The panorama roof with power tilt/sliding
panel remains raised at the rear in order to
allow ventilation of the vehicle interior.
If the panorama roof with power tilt/sliding
panel is obstructed while being closed by the
rain-closing feature, it opens again slightly.
The rain-closing feature is then deactivated.
The panorama roof with power tilt/sliding
panel does not close if:
Rit is raised at the rear.
Rit is blocked.
Rno rain is falling on the area of the wind-
shield being monitored by the rain sensor.
If the vehicle is under a bridge or in a car-
port, for example, the field of the sensor
may be covered.

dent.

actual distance from the road users traveling
behind by glancing over your shoulder.
