Comfort position
In some models, the wind noises in the car's in‐
terior are lowest when the glass roof is not fully
open. In these models, the automatic function in‐
itially only opens the glass roof as far as this
comfort position.
Pressing the switch again opens the glass roof
fully.
Closing in the case of rain
Principle
In idle state, the open Glass Roof is automatically
moved to the raised position under the following
conditions:
▷ When it starts to rain.
▷ Six hours after locking.
Operating requirements
▷ The rain sensor in the area of the rearview
mirror must not be covered, for example if the
vehicle is half covered by a car port.
▷ Vehicle is in idle state.
▷ The function was activated in the settings,
see page 92.
Malfunctions
The open Glass Roof is not moved to the raised
position under the following circumstances:
▷ The Glass Roof is blocked.
▷ The anti-trap mechanism is not secured.
▷ There is a system error, for example due to a
temporary interruption in the electrical power
supply. In this case, initialising the Glass Roof,
see page 100, can help.
An error message is shown on the Control Dis‐
play. No further closing is attempted.
The open Glass Roof is immediately moved to
the raised position under the following circum‐
stances:
▷ Rain detection is not possible because of the
system.
An error message is shown on the Control Dis‐
play.
Anti-trap mechanism
General
If the closing force exceeds a certain value when
closing the Glass Roof, the closing operation is
interrupted once the roof reaches the half-open
position, or it is stopped when closing from the
raised position.
The Glass Roof is opened slightly.
Closing without the anti-trap
mechanism from an open position
In the event of danger from the outside, proceed
as follows:
1.
Slide the switch forwards beyond the resist‐
ance point and hold it there.
The Glass Roof is closed with a restricted
anti-trap mechanism. If the closing force ex‐
ceeds a certain value, the closing operation is
interrupted.
2. Press the switch forwards once again beyond
the resistance point and hold until the Glass
Roof closes without the anti-trap mechanism.
Ensure that the closing area is clear.
Closing without the anti-trap
mechanism from a raised position
If there is a danger from the out‐
side slide the switch forwards be‐
yond the resistance point and
hold it there.
The Glass Roof is closed without the anti-trap
mechanism.
