Electric Sliding/Tilting Roof - Skoda Octavia Owner's Manual

Electric sliding/tilting roof

Introductory information
The sliding/tilting roof is operated by means of the control dial
functions when the ignition is switched on. The control dial has several positions.
The sliding/tilting roof can still be opened, closed and tilted for approx. 10 mi-
nutes after switching the ignition off. However, as soon as one of the front doors
is opened it is no longer possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof.
Note
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it is possible that the slid-
ing/tilting roof does not close fully. This is why the rotary switch must be set to
the switch position and pressed forward for about 10 seconds.

ing roof can be closed completely without the force limiter by turning the switch
into position » Fig. 20 at the front for as long as it takes for the sliding/tilting
