Function

All actions of the sunroof with glass panel can be performed with
the ignition switched on.
After the ignition is switched off, actions can be performed until
either the driver or front passenger door is opened.
The opening of the glass panel in sliding or tilting positions can
be preselected using the rotary switch.
On the rotary switch there are marks for preset sliding and tilting
positions of the glass panel.
Opening sliding/tilting sunroof to the so called comfort position,
prevents to a large extent wind noise while driving, which can oc‐
cur when sunroof is fully open.
Pre-selector switch
The sliding/tilting sunroof with glass panel is equipped with a force
limitation (roll back) feature while closing. If an obstacle is en‐
countered during closing or opening from the elevating or sliding
position, the glass panel will be moved in the opposite direction.
In addition, there is an emergency closure function. If problems
occur during closure, the sliding/tilting sunroof with glass panel
can be forced to shut by pressing the preselector switch when it
is in the "close sunroof" position.
The roll-back function is disabled when the emergency closure
function is active.
The drive for the sliding/tilting sunroof with glass panel is protec‐
ted against overheating by a time limit. The protective mechanism
activates when the sunroof is operated continuously for approx.
2 minutes. It is functional again after a cooling-off phase.
In the event of power failure, the sliding/tilting sunroof with glass
panel can be moved using a hexagon key directly on the drive.
The hexagon drive can be found in a bracket on the rear of the
moulded headliner, next to an opening for the rear lighting unit.
