Sliding sunroof reversing feature
The sliding sunroof is equipped with an auto-
matic reversing function. If an solid object
blocks or restricts the sliding sunroof during the
closing process, the sliding sunroof opens again automatically. The automatic reversing function
is only an aid and is not a substitute for your
attention when closing the sliding roof. G

R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R over the last 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
