Safety switch
You can use the safety switch to deacti-

To prevent injuries, exercise care
when closing the sliding/tilt sun-
roof and keep it in your field of vision
until it is shut.
Before leaving the car, switch off the
electric sunroof mechanism by taking
out the ignition key. Do not leave chil-
dren unattended in the vehicle with ac-
cess to vehicle keys. Use of the key can
result in starting of the engine and oper-
ation of vehicle systems such as the
power sunroof. Unsupervised use of
these systems can result in serious per-
sonal injury.<
You can avoid pressure or drafts in the
passenger compartment when the sun-
roof is open or lifted by opening the air
vents in the dashboard and increasing
the air supply as required. Refer to
page 85.
If the sunroof is completely open, air
disturbances may be caused in the ve-
hicle when you are driving at higher
speeds. Close the roof as far as is nec-
essary until this natural phenomenon
ceases.
For convenience operation via the door
lock or remote control, refer to page 32
or 34.
Lifting – Opening – Closing
With the ignition key in position 1 or
higher, press the switch or slide it to the
desired direction until you feel resis-
tance.
When lifting, the headliner retracts sev-
eral inches.
After the ignition has been switched off,
you can still operate the sunroof as long
as neither front door has been opened.
