G Observe Safety notes, see
page 59.
G Warning!
The tilt/sliding sunroof is made out of
glass. In the event of an accident, the glass
may shatter. This may result in an opening
in the roof.
In a vehicle rollover, occupants not wearing
their seat belts or not wearing them prop-
erly may be thrown out of the opening. Such
an opening also presents a potential for
injury for occupants wearing their seat
belts properly as entire body parts or por-
tions of them may protrude from the pas-
senger compartment.
! To avoid damaging the seals, do not trans-
port any objects with sharp edges which
can stick out of the tilt/sliding sunroof.
Do not open the tilt/sliding sunroof if there
is snow or ice on the roof, as this could
result in malfunctions.
If you cannot open or close the tilt/sliding
sunroof due to a malfunction contact Road-
side Assistance or an authorized Mer-
cedes-Benz Center.
! Please keep in mind that weather condi-
tions can sometimes change rapidly. Make
sure to close the tilt/sliding sunroof when
leaving the vehicle. If water enters the vehi-
cle interior, vehicle electronics could be
damaged which is not covered by the Mer-
cedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
i You can also open or close the tilt/sliding
sunroof using the SmartKey or the KEY-
LESS-GO function, see "Summer opening
feature" ( Y page 105) and "Convenience
closing feature" ( Y page 105).
i After switching off the ignition or remov-
ing the SmartKey from the starter switch,
you can operate the tilt/sliding sunroof
until you open the driver's or front passen-
ger door. If no door was opened you can
operate the tilt/sliding sunroof for up to
5 minutes.
