104 Interior equipmentPinch protectionThe sunroof is equipped with pinch protec-
tion. This is activated if something gets
trapped when the sunroof is being closed.
The sunroof will stop and open slightly.
Overriding the pinch protection
If dirt, ice or similar create so much resis-
tance that the pinch protection cuts in (sun-
roof cannot be closed), the pinch protection
can be temporarily disengaged.
1 Make sure the ignition is ON.
2 Press and hold the button on the
driver’s door while operating the window
in question.
3 Close the sunroof with the button on the
roof console.
The pinch protection will be operative the
next time the sunroof is operated.
Emergency operation of the sunroofIn an emergency, such as if there is an elec-
trical failure, the sunroof can be operated
with a screwdriver.
Remove the lens from the roof console. Use
a screwdriver to press in the pin in the slot
in the center of the motor shaft and turn the
screwdriver.
Turn clockwise to close the sunroof.
If the rear edge of the sunroof is open (ven-
tilation position), turn the screwdriver
counter-clockwise.
WARNING
Make sure nothing obstructs the sunroof
when it is closed without pinch protection.

protection

163 Starting and driving
Driving with the trunk lid
openAvoid driving with the trunk lid partly or fully
open, since exhaust fumes can be drawn
into the cabin.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open,
close all windows and the sunroof (if fitted)
and set the cabin fan to its highest speed
setting.
Driving in deep water Driving at night
Bear in mind the following points, especially
when driving at night:
Nighttime driving requires your full
concentration
Do not rush. Count on your journey taking
slightly longer.
The number of drivers under the influence
of drugs is likely to be greater at night than
during the day.
Do not stare at the headlights of oncom-
ing vehicles.
Avoid driving at night if you have poor
eyesight. Night vision deteriorates with
age.
Keep your car’s headlights, windows and
mirrors clean. Also, if you wear glasses,
make sure they are clean.
Make sure you are well rested before
starting a long journey. Take a break
every other hour.
Only eat light meals. Heavy meals have a
tendency to induce tiredness.
Wild animals prefer to move at dusk and
dawn.
Check the headlight levelling setting (see
page 73).
NOTICEDo not drive in puddles or water deeper
than 7 in. (20 cm) and do not drive faster
than at idling speed. Water can otherwise
be sucked into the engine. The engine will
be damaged if water enters the intake
system.
