Opening and

closing

prior to closing it, otherwise the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as thin objects, and the window
would continue closing.
Do not install any accessories that might inter-
fere with window movement. Otherwise the
pinch protection system could be impaired.

Closing without pinch protection

If there is an external danger, or if ice on the win-
dows, etc., prevents you from closing the win-
dows normally, proceed as follows:

Pull the switch past the resistance point and
hold it there. Pinch protection is limited and
the window reopens slightly if the closing
force exceeds a certain value.

Pull the switch again past the resistance
point within approx. 4 seconds and hold it
there. The window closes without pinch
protection.

Safety switch

With the safety switch, you can prevent the rear
windows from being opened or closed via the
switches in the rear passenger area, by chil-
dren, for example. When the safety function is
switched on, the LED comes on.

Always press the safety switch when chil-
dren ride in the rear, otherwise

unchecked closing of the windows could lead to
injuries.

Glass roof*, electric

To prevent injuries, watch the glass roof
while closing it.

Take the remote control with you when you

leave the car, otherwise children could operate
the roof and possibly injure themselves.

Raising

Press the switch.

The closed glass roof is raised and the slid-
ing visor opens slightly.

The open glass roof automatically travels
into the raised position. The sliding visor
remains completely open.

Opening, closing

Press the switch backwards to the resis-
tance point.
The glass roof and the sliding visor open
together as long as you hold the switch in
this position.

Press the switch backwards past the resis-
tance point.
The glass roof and the sliding visor open
automatically. Briefly press the switch again
to stop the opening movement.

You can close the glass roof in a similar manner
by pressing the switch forwards. The sliding
visor remains open and can be closed by hand.
For information on convenient operation via the
remote control or door lock, refer to page

After switching off the ignition

When the remote control is removed or the igni-
tion is switched off, you can still operate the roof
for approx. 1 minute as long as no door has
been opened.
