G Risk of injury
Children could injure themselves if they
operate the sliding/tilting sunroof.
Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle. Always take the KEYLESS–GO
key* with you when leaving the vehicle,
even if you are only leaving it for a short
time.
G Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trap-
ped when you are opening and closing the
sliding/tilting sunroof. If there is a risk of
entrapment, release the switch and push it
briefly in any direction to stop the sliding/
tilting sunroof.
G Risk of injury
The glass in the sliding/tilting sunroof
could break in an accident. If you are not
wearing a seat belt, there is a risk that you
could be thrown through the opening in the
event of the vehicle overturning. Therefore,
always wear a seat belt to reduce the risk
of injuries.
!
Only open the sliding/tilting sunroof if it
is free of snow and ice. Otherwise, mal-
functions may occur.
Do not allow anything to protrude from the
sliding/tilting sunroof. The seals could oth-
erwise be damaged.
i
Resonance noises can occur in addition
to the usual airflow noises when the slid-
ing/tilting sunroof is open. They are caused
by minor pressure fluctuations in the vehi-
cle interior.
Change the position of the sliding/tilting
sunroof or open a side window slightly to
reduce or eliminate these noises.
i
It is also possible to open and close the
sliding/tilting sunroof from the outside
using the "Summer opening" (
and "Convenience closing" (
features respectively.
When PRE-SAFE ® * has been activated, the
sliding/tilting sunroof closes automatically in
the event of danger, leaving a small gap open.
