2016 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA Owners Manual

Roller sunblind reversing feature The roller sunblind is equipped with an auto-
matic reversing feature. If a solid object
blocks or restricts the roller sunblind during
the closing process, the roller sunblind 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 roller sunblind.
G WARNING
The reversing feature does not react: R
to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers R
when closing the roller sunblind again man-
ually immediately after automatic reversal

prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing the roller sunblind, make sure
that no body parts are in the sweep area.
If somebody becomes trapped: R
release the switch immediately, or R
press the switch in any direction during the
automatic closing process
