Sliding/tilt sunroof
Safety feature
If the sliding/tilt sunroof encounters
resistance
> when it is closing from the raised
position
> when it is closing from a point
roughly past the middle of its travel,
the closing cycle is interrupted and the
sliding/tilt sunroof will open again
slightly.
Despite this safety feature, be
extremely careful to ensure that
the closing path of the roof is not
obstructed. Otherwise, triggering the
closing-force limitation may not be
ensured in some situations (with very
thin objects, for instance).
You can disable this safety feature by
pressing the switch beyond the resis-
tance point and holding it.<

Manual operation
In the event of an electrical malfunction,
you can also operate the sliding/tilt
sunroof manually
1. Remove the interior lamp, then reach
into the exposed opening and press
out the cover
2. Use an Allen wrench from the
onboard tool kit (refer to page 120) to
turn the sunroof's steel crank in the
desired direction.
