WARNING

At high speeds the raised sliding sunroof

automatically 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

sliding sunroof lifts during opening.

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

interior.

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.

Sliding sunroof reversing feature

The sliding sunroof is equipped with an

automatic reversing feature. If a solid object

blocks or restricts the sliding sunroof during

the closing process, the sliding sunroof opens

again automatically. However, the automatic

reversing feature is only an aid and does not

relieve you of the responsibility of paying

attention when closing the sliding sunroof.

WARNING

The reversing feature does not react:

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

fingers

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

movement

during resetting

when closing the sliding sunroof again

manually immediately after automatic

reversing

This means that the reversing feature cannot

prevent someone being trapped in these

situations. 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.
