positions of the glass panel.

The sliding/tilting sunroof with glass panel is equipped with a force

limitation (roll back) feature while closing. If the sunroof encoun‐

ters an obstruction while closing from tilting or sliding position, it

will open automatically.
In addition, there is an emergency closure function. If problems

occur during closure, the sliding/tilting roof with glass panel can

be forced to shut by pressing the preselector switch when it is in

the “close sliding/tilting roof” position.
The roll-back function is disabled when the emergency closure

function is active.
The drive for the sliding/tilting sunroof with glass panel is protec‐

ted against overheating by a time limit. The protective mechanism

activates when the sunroof is operated continuously for approx.

2 minutes. It is functional again after a cooling-off phase.
In the event of power failure, the sliding/tilting sunroof with glass

panel can be moved using a hexagon key directly on the drive.

Hexagon key is located in vehicle tool kit.
