Note
● An overload cut-out may be triggered if the sun blind for the rear window
is operated repeatedly. There will then be a short delay before the blind can
be operated again.
● As the material of the sun blind is less flexible at low temperatures, the
electric actuator is switched off when the outside temperature is below
-5 °C. The sun blind can only be operated when the temperature inside the
car rises above this level.
