Unlocking and locking
90•Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle, particularly if 
they have access to the keys. Unsupervised use of a key could mean that 
the engine is started or that electrical equipment is used (e.g. electric 
tilting sunroof) with a risk of accident. The doors can be locked using the 
remote control key. This could make the aid difficult in an emergency situ-
ation.•The tilting sunroof continues to function until one of the front doors is 
opened and the key removed from the ignition.•Ensure that no object and/or end  is between the glass and the sunroof 
when the one-touch opening/closing function is reset.

Roll-back function of the panorama/ tilting sunroof*The panorama/ tilting sunroof has a roll-back function  which prevents larger 
objects getting trapped when the roof is closed. The roll-back function does 
not prevent fingers getting pinched against the roof opening. The tilting 
sunroof stops and opens again immediately if it is obstructed when closing.Operation in case of breakdown 
In case of a breakdown, the sunroof may be closed manually.– Remove the plastic cover by inserting a screwdriver into the rear  section.
– Insert an Allen key (4 mm) into the opening as far as possible and  close the sunroof.
