Sliding/tilt sunroof
44n
*
Automatic opening and closing
Press the switch past the resistance
point briefly: the sunroof travels to
either the fully-closed or fully-open
position.
Other automatic operations are:
> With the sunroof open, press the
switch briefly toward "Lift:" the
sunroof automatically extends to its
fully raised position.
> With the sunroof raised, press the
switch briefly toward "Open:" the
sunroof automatically extends to the
"Open" position.
Pressing the switch again stops the
motion immediately.
Safety feature
If the sliding/tilt sunroof encounters
resistance at a point roughly past the
middle of its travel when it is closing,
the closing cycle is interrupted and the
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 pressure point
and holding it.<
Sliding/tilt sunroof with glass
*
moonroof
The options and control procedures are
essentially the same as those previously
described for the sliding/tilt sunroof. In
order to open the raised roof, press the
control switch towards "Open" until the
roof has reached the desired position.
The headliner insert slides back some-
what when you raise the sunroof. When
the sunroof is opened, the headliner
retracts with it. The headliner will then
automatically remain in its retracted
position, but can be repositioned as
desired.
Power loss or malfunction
Following a power interruption (if the
battery is disconnected, for instance),
the sunroof can only be raised in some
circumstances. To correct this situa-
tion:
1 Raise the sliding/tilt sunroof fully.
2 Press and hold the switch for approx.
20 seconds.
In the event of an electrical system
malfunction, the sliding/tilt sunroof can
be manually operated. Refer to
page 170.
