Page 104

Only open the sliding sunroof if it is free of

snow and ice. Otherwise, malfunctions may

occur.
Do not allow anything to protrude from the

sliding sunroof. Otherwise, the seals could

be damaged.

The weather can change abruptly. It could

start to rain or snow. Make sure that the

sliding sunroof is closed when you leave the

vehicle. The vehicle electronics can be

damaged if water enters the vehicle inte-

rior.

Resonance noises can occur in addition to the

usual airflow noises when the sliding sunroof

is open. They are caused by minor pressure

fluctuations in the vehicle interior. Change

the position of the sliding sunroof or open a

side window slightly to reduce or eliminate

these noises.
Only for vehicles with panorama roof with

power tilt/sliding panel:

WARNING

At high speeds the raised sliding sunroof auto-

matically lowers slightly at the rear. This could

trap you or other persons. There is a risk of

injury. Make sure that nobody reaches into

the sweep of the sliding sunroof whilst the

vehicle is in motion.
If somebody becomes trapped, immediately

pull back the sliding sunroof switch. The slid-

ing sunroof lifts during opening.

Sliding sunroof reversing feature

Your vehicle may be equipped with a sliding

sunroof or a panorama roof with power tilt/

sliding panel. In this section, the term "sliding

sunroof" refers to both types of sliding sun-

roof.
The sliding sunroof is equipped with an auto-

matic reversing feature. If a solid object

blocks or restricts the sliding sunroof during

the closing process, the sliding sunroof opens

again automatically. The automatic reversing

feature is only an aid and is no substitute for

your attention when closing the sliding roof.

WARNING

The reversing feature does not react:

to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-

gers

over the last 1/6 in(4 mm) of the closing

movement

during resetting

when closing the sliding sunroof again man-

ually immediately after automatic reversing

This means that the reversing feature cannot

prevent someone being trapped in these sit-

uations. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that no body parts are in close

proximity during the closing procedure.
If somebody becomes trapped:

release the switch immediately, or

during automatic operation, push the

switch briefly in any direction

The closing process is stopped.
