Opening and closing<br />
G Warning!<br />
When opening or closing the tilt/sliding<br />
sunroof, make sure there is no danger of<br />
anyone being harmed by the opening/closing<br />
procedure.<br />
The tilt/sliding sunroof is equipped with the<br />
automatic operation and anti-entrapment<br />
features. If the movement of the tilt/sliding<br />
sunroof is blocked during the closing<br />
procedure, the tilt/sliding sunroof will stop<br />
and open slightly.<br />
The tilt/sliding sunroof operates differently<br />
when the sunroof switch is pressed and held.<br />
See the section about problems with the<br />
sliding sunroof for details.<br />
The opening/closing procedure of the tilt/<br />
sliding sunroof can be immediately halted by<br />
releasing the sunroof switch or, if the sunroof<br />
switch was moved past the resistance point<br />
and released, by moving the sunroof switch in<br />
any direction.<br />
G Warning!<br />
The tilt/sliding sunroof is made out of glass.<br />
In the event of an accident, the glass may<br />
shatter. This may result in an opening in the<br />
roof.<br />
In a vehicle rollover, occupants not wearing<br />
their seat belts or not wearing them properly<br />
may be thrown out of the opening. Such an<br />
opening also presents a potential for injury for<br />
occupants wearing their seat belts properly as<br />
entire body parts or portions of them may<br />
protrude from the passenger compartment.<br />

closed due to a malfunction, contact a<br />

to the usual airflow noises when the sliding<br />
