Panoramic sliding roof* (Combi)
Introduction
The panoramic sliding roof with sun screen can only be operated with the control dial
when the ignition is switched on fig. 43. The control dial has several positions.
After switching off the ignition, it is still possible to open, close and tilt the panoramic
sliding roof or the sun screen for approx. 10 minutes. However, it is no longer possible
to operate the panoramic sliding roof and the sun screen the moment you open one
of the front doors.

When the panoramic sliding roof is in the comfort position, the intensity of the wind

Force limiter
The panoramic sliding roof is fitted with a force limiter. The panoramic sliding roof

something in the way (e.g. ice). You can close the panoramic sliding roof fully without
force limiter by pressing down the switch on the recess and then pushing it forwards
until the panoramic sliding roof is fully closed .
