The panoramic roof and sun curtain are operated using a control in the ceiling panel, and both are equipped with pinch protection.

  • Always operate the windows with caution.
  • Do not allow children to play with the operating controls.
  • Never leave a child unattended in the vehicle.
  • Remember to always cut the current to the power windows by setting the vehicle's electrical system to ignition mode 0 and then taking the key with you when leaving the vehicle.
  • Never stick objects or body parts out through the windows, even if the vehicle electrical system is completely turned off.
  • Do not open the panoramic roof when roof racks are installed.
  • Never place heavy objects on the panoramic roof.
  • Remove ice and snow before opening the panoramic roof. Be careful not to scratch any surfaces or damage the trim.
  • Do not operate the panoramic roof if it is frozen in place.

To operate the panoramic roof and sun curtain, the ignition must be in mode I or II.

It can also be operated using keyless unlocking* with the door handle.

The movement of the roof will stop if the control is released during manual operation or when the glass has reached the comfort1 or fully open/closed position. The movement of both the panoramic roof and the sun curtain is also stopped if the control in the ceiling is operated again in the direction opposite that of the current direction of movement.

The panoramic roof and sunshade also have pinch protection. If there is any problem with the pinch protection, a reset procedure can be performed.
