Glass roof, electric

Safety feature

If the glass roof encounters resistance

when it is closing from the raised
position

when closing at a point roughly past
the middle of its travel

the closing cycle is interrupted and the
glass roof will open again slightly.

Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful that the closing

path of the glass roof is not obstructed
whenever it is closed. Otherwise, trig-
gering the closing-force limitation may
not be ensured in some situations, with
very thin objects, for instance. You can
disable this safety feature by pressing
the switch beyond the resistance point
and holding it.

Power loss

When the battery is disconnected, for
instance, the glass roof may only lift.
To reinitialize the mechanism:

1. Raise the glass roof completely
2. Press and hold the switch for approx.

twenty seconds.
