MERCEDES-BENZ CLA SHOOTING BRAKE 2015 Owners Manual

The roller sunblind shields the vehicle interior
from sunlight. The roller sunblind can only be
opened and closed when the panorama slid-
ing sunroof is closed.
Roller sunblind reversing feature The roller sunblind is equipped with an auto-
matic reversing feature. If an object blocks or
restricts the roller sunblind during the closing
process, the roller sunblind opens again auto-
matically. The automatic reversing feature is, however, only an aid and is no substitute for
your attention when closing the roller sun-
blind. G
WARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R when closing the roller sunblind again man-
ually immediately after automatic reversing
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing the roller sunblind, make sure
that no body parts are in the sweep.
If someone is trapped:
R release the switch immediately or
R press the switch in any direction during the
