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 sunroof is not
obstructed. Remember that the safety
mechanism may not be able to detect
obstructions – very thin objects, for
instance, under all circumstances.
You can override this safety feature by
pressing the switch beyond the pres-
