Sliding/tilt sunroof*
43n
To prevent injuries, exercise care
when closing the sliding/tilt
sunroof and keep it in your field of
vision until it is shut.
Before leaving the vehicle, switch off
the electric sunroof mechanism by
taking out the ignition key. Do not leave
children unattended in the vehicle with
access to vehicle keys. Use of the key
can result in starting of the engine and
operation of vehicle systems such as
the power sunroof. Unsupervised use
of these systems can result in serious
personal injury.<
Safety switch
Lifting – opening – closing
With the safety switch, you can prevent
the rear windows from being opened or
closed via the switch in the rear
passenger area (by children, for
example).
With the ignition key in position 1 or
higher, press the switch or slide it to the
desired direction until you feel resis-
tance.
You can avoid pressure or drafts in the
passenger compartment when the
sunroof is open or lifted by opening the
air vents in the dashboard and
increasing the air supply as required.
Refer to page 97.
When lifting, the headliner retracts
several inches.
Press the safety switch whenever
children are riding in the rear of
the vehicle. Careless use of the power
windows can lead to injury.<
If the sliding/tilt sunroof is up, then
the headliner cannot be closed.<
If the sunroof is completely open, air
disturbances may be caused in the
vehicle when you are driving at higher
speeds. Close the roof as far as is
necessary until this natural phenom-
enon ceases.
After the ignition has been switched off,
you can still operate the sunroof as long
as neither front door has been opened.
For convenience operation via the door
lock or remote control, refer to page 32
or 34.

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.<
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.

Power loss or malfunction
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.
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:
Pressing the switch again stops the
motion immediately.
Safety feature
1 Raise the sliding/tilt sunroof fully.
2 Press and hold the switch for approx.
20 seconds.
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.
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.
In the event of an electrical system
malfunction, the sliding/tilt sunroof can
be manually operated. Refer to
page 170.
