WARNING
At high speeds the raised sliding sunroof auto- matically lowers slightly at the rear. This could

the sweep of the sliding sunroof whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
If somebody becomes trapped, immediately
pull back the sliding sunroof switch. The slid- ing sunroof lifts during opening.

snow and ice. Otherwise, malfunctions may
occur.

sliding sunroof. Otherwise, the seals could
be damaged.
! The weather can change abruptly. It could
start to rain or snow. Make sure that the
sliding sunroof is closed when you leave the
vehicle. The vehicle electronics can be
damaged if water enters the vehicle inte-
rior.
i Resonance noises can occur in addition to
the usual airflow noises when the sliding
sunroof is open. They are caused by minor
pressure fluctuations in the vehicle interior.
Change the position of the sliding sunroof
or open a side window slightly to reduce or
eliminate these noises. Sliding sunroof reversing feature
The sliding sunroof is equipped with an auto- matic reversing feature. If a solid object
blocks or restricts the sliding sunroof during

gers
