Sliding/tilt sunroof
The headliner insert slides back some-
what when you raise the sunroof. When
the sunroof is opened, the headliner
retracts with it.
Do not use force to close the
headliner insert with the sunroof in
its raised position, as damage to the
mechanism could
result.<
For the convenience mode via the door
lock, refer to page 31.
Automatic opening and closing
Press the switch briefly past the pres-
sure point: the sunroof travels to either
the fully-closed or fully-open position.
Pressing the switch again stops the
motion immediately.

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 that the travel
path of the sunroof is not obstructed
whenever it is closed. Remember that
the safety mechanism may not be able
to detect obstructions under all circum-
stances (with very thin objects, for
instance).
You can disable this safety feature by
pressing the switch beyond the pres-
sure point and holding
Manual operation

you can also operate the sliding/tilt
sunroof manually:

into the exposed opening and press
out the cover
2. Use the Allen key from the onboard
tool kit, refer to page
