Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
The power sunroof has an overheating protection feature that can temporarily turn the electric motor
off under certain circumstances. This can happen after, for example, overriding the motor too often
when closing the power sunroof without the pinch protection.
After the motor has cooled down enough, the overheating protection feature will let the motor work
again and the power sunroof can be opened or closed with the rotary switch.
Before you try to use emergency closing procedures to close the power sunroof, please wait several
minutes to make sure that the motor has not been temporarily turned off by the overheating protection
feature.
However, if you have to perform an emergency closing, please do so in the following order:
Remove the cover in direction of the arrow ⇒
Insert a commercially available 1/6 in (4 mm) Allen wrench
⇒
