Pinch protection system
If the closing force when closing the glass sun‐
roof exceeds a certain value, the closing move‐
ment is stopped, beginning at approximately the
middle of the opening in the roof, or from the
tilted position during closing.
The glass sunroof opens again slightly.
Danger of pinching even with pinch pro‐
tection
Despite the pinch protection system, check that
the roof's closing path is clear; otherwise, the
closing action may not be interrupted in certain
extreme situations, such as when thin objects
are present.◀
Closing from the open position without
pinch protection
For example, if there is an external danger, pro‐
ceed as follows:1.Press the switch forward beyond the resist‐
ance point and hold.
Pinch protection is limited and the roof re‐
opens slightly if the closing force exceeds a
certain value.2.Press the switch forward again beyond the
resistance point and hold until the roof
closes without pinch protection.
Closing from the raised position
without pinch protection
If there is an external danger, push the switch
forward past the resistance point and hold it.
The roof closes without pinch protection.
Initializing after a power failure
After a power failure during the opening or clos‐
ing process, the roof can only be operated to a
limited extent.
Initializing the system
The system can be initialized when the vehicle
is stationary and the engine is running.
During the initialization, the roof closes without
pinch protection.
Keep the closing path clear
Monitor the closing process and make
sure that the closing path of the glass sunroof is
clear; otherwise, injuries may result.◀
Press the switch up and hold it
until the initialization is complete:▷Initialization begins within
15 seconds and is completed
when the sunroof is com‐
pletely closed.▷The roof closes without pinch protection.Seite 44ControlsOpening and closing44

Attentiveness assistant
The concept
If the becomes increasing less alert or shows
signs of fatigue, a recommendation to take a
break appears in the Control Display. This is
based on the driver's individual driving style,
e.g., steering behavior, or the driving conditions,
such as the time.
The system can detect increasing lack of alert‐
ness or fatigue of the driver during long, monot‐
onous journeys, for example, on highways. In
this situation, it is recommended that the driver
take a break.
General information
The system is automatically activated every
time the engine is started.
Note Personal responsibility
The system cannot act as a substitute for
the personal assessment of one's physical state
and may not detect an increasing lack of alert‐
ness or fatigue or may not detect it correctly.
Therefore, make sure that the driver is rested
and alert; otherwise, risks may be detected too
late and an accident be caused as a result.◀
Function
The system is activated each time the engine is
started and cannot be switched off.
