Important safety notes
G
WARNING
While opening and closing the sliding sunroof, body parts in close proximity could become
trapped. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that no body parts are in close
proximity during the opening and closing pro- cedures.
If somebody becomes trapped:
R release the switch immediately, or
R during automatic operation, press the
switch briefly in any direction

WARNING
If children operate the sliding sunroof they
could become trapped, particularly if they are left unsupervised. There is a risk of injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key
with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave
children unattended in the vehicle.
! Only open the panorama sliding sunroof if it
is free of snow and ice. Otherwise, malfunc-
tions may occur.
Do not allow anything to protrude from the
sliding sunroof. Otherwise, the seals could be
damaged.
Resonance noises can occur in addition to the
usual airflow noises when the sliding sunroof is
open. They are caused by minor pressure fluc-
tuations in the vehicle interior. Change the posi- tion of the sliding sunroof or open a side window
slightly to reduce or eliminate these noises. 98
Sliding sunroofOpening and closing

Sliding sunroof reversing feature
The sliding sunroof is equipped with an auto-
matic reversing function. If an solid object
blocks or restricts the sliding sunroof during the
closing process, the sliding sunroof opens again automatically. The automatic reversing function
is only an aid and is not a substitute for your
attention when closing the sliding roof. G
WARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R over the last 4 mm of the closing movement
R during resetting
R when closing the sliding sunroof 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 make sure that no body parts
are in the closing area.
If someone is trapped:
R release the switch immediately or
R press the switch in any direction during the

ded protection unless they are fitted and
adjusted correctly. There is an increased risk of injury to the head and neck in the event of
an accident or sudden braking, for example.
Always drive with the head restraints fitted.
Ensure that the centre of the head restraints
support the back of each vehicle occupant's
head at eye level before driving off.
Do not interchange the head restraints of the
front and rear seats. Otherwise, you cannot
adjust the height and angle of the head
restraints correctly.
Adjust the head restraint fore-and-aft position
so that it is as close as possible to the back of
your head. G
