  • Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle.

Unsupervised use of the vehicle key can result in the vehicle being locked, the engine being started, the ignition being switched on and the electric panorama sliding/tilting glass roof being operated.
  • The electric panorama sliding/tilting glass roof can be operated for a short time after the ignition has been switched off, provided the driver door or the front passenger door is not opened.

Any rain entering the vehicle when the electric panorama sliding/tilting glass roof is open could cause considerable damage to the electrical system. This can result in further damage to the vehicle.

If there is a fault in the electric panorama sliding/tilting roof, the roll-back function will not work properly. Go to a qualified workshop
