Anti-trap mechanism
Principle
The anti-trap mechanism prevents objects or
body parts from becoming jammed between
the roof frame and glass sunroof while the
glass sunroof is
closing.
If resistance or a blockage is detected while
the glass sunroof is closing, it will stop closing
when the roof reaches the half-open position
or when closing from the tilted position.
Closing from the open position without
the anti-trap mechanism
In case of danger from the outside or if icing
might prevent normal closing, proceed as fol-
lows:
1.
Close all doors.
2.
Turn on drive-ready state or stop the vehi-
cle if moving.
3.
In the headliner, push the glass sun-
roof/sun protection switch forward, past the
resistance point, and hold it
there.
The glass sunroof closes with limited anti-
trap mechanism. If the closing force ex-
ceeds a certain threshold, closing is stop-
ped.
4.
Push the switch forward again past the
resistance point and hold, until the glass
sunroof closes without the anti-trap mech-
anism. Make sure that the closing path is
clear.
Closing from the lifted position without
the anti-trap mechanism
In case of danger from the outside or if icing
might prevent normal closing, proceed as fol-
lows:
1.
Close all doors.
2.
Turn on drive-ready state or stop the vehi-
cle if moving.
3.
In the headliner, push the glass sun-
roof/sun protection switch forward, past the
resistance point, and hold it there.
Initializing after a power interruption
General information
After a power interruption during the opening
or closing process, the glass sunroof can only
be operated to a limited extent. Initializing the
system can help in this
case.
The system can be initialized under the follow-
ing conditions:
▷
The vehicle is parked in a horizontal posi-
tion.
▷
The vehicle will not be moved until the initi-
alization is completed.
▷
The drive-ready state is established.
▷
The outside temperature is above
41℉/5℃.
During initialization, the glass sunroof closes
without the anti-trap
mechanism.
Make sure that the closing path is clear.
Initializing the system
To initialize the system, in the
headliner, press the glass sun-
roof/sun protection switch up-
ward and hold it until initializa-
tion is complete:
Initialization begins within 15 seconds.
