The panorama sliding/tilting roof (hereinafter referred to as sliding/tilting roof)
can only be operated when the ignition is turned on and when the outdoor
temperature is no lower than -20 °C.
The sliding/tilting roof can still be operated for approx. 10 minutes after
switching the ignition off. After opening the driver or front passenger door, it
is no longer possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof.
WARNINGWhen operating the sliding/tilting roof and the sunshade, proceed with
caution to avoid causing crushing injuries – risk of injury!CAUTION■ During the winter it may be necessary to remove any ice and snow in the vi-
cinity of the sliding/tilting roof before opening it to prevent any damage to the
opening mechanism.■
Always close the sliding/tilting roof before disconnecting the battery.

If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the glass pane re-
tracts by several centimetres.WARNINGIf the sliding/tilting roof is closed by holding down the switch 7 / 8,
» Fig. 44 on page 64 and the closing process is hindered by an obstacle,
then when attempting to close for a third time, the force limiter is rendered inoperable (if the period of 5 s is not reached between the individual at-
tempts to close). The sliding/tilting roof closes with full force - it may cause

The headlight assistant (referred to as just system in the following) automati-
cally switches the main beam on/off, if necessary, adjusts the beam of the
front headlights in accordance with the existing traffic situation (other vehi-
cles) and environmental conditions (e.g. driving through a lit village).
The switching on/off of the main beam, if necessary, the adaptation of the
headlight, is controlled by a sensor » Fig. 53.
Depending on the equipment, the following system versions can exist.
Light Assist
automatically switches the main beam on/off.
Dynamic Light Assist
automatically adjusts the light cone shape of the front head-
lights in order to prevent dazzling the oncoming and preceding vehicles, while
ensuring the highest possible illumination of the road edges.
If the driving mode Eco » page 240 , Select the driving mode (Driving Mode
Selection) or travel mode » page 71 , Driving abroad is selected, the automatic
adjustment of the beam is deactivated,
Dynamic Light Assist
only switches the
main beam on/off automatically.
If the Xenon headlights are in the mode rain or fog » page 69 , then
DynamicLight Assist
is deactivated.
If there is a fault, the error message will appear in the instrument cluster dis-
play. Seek help from a specialist garage. 

WARNINGThe system is used only for support, thus the driver is not released from his
obligation to manually adjust the main or low beam according to the given
ambient conditions (e.g. in unfavourable lighting and weather conditions,
as when passing poorly lit road users, if necessary, when the visual range
of the sensor is limited by an obstacle).
