Sliding sunroof

Sliding/tilting sunroof*

Risk of injury

Children could injure themselves if they operate the sliding/tilting sunroof.

Never leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. Always take the KEYLESS-GO key* with you when leaving the vehicle, even if you are only leaving it for a short time.

	Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trapped when you are opening and closing the sliding/tilting sunroof. If there is a risk of entrapment, release the switch and push it briefly in any direction to stop the sliding/tilting sunroof.

	Risk of injury
The glass in the sliding/tilting sunroof could break in an accident. If you are not wearing a seat belt, there is a risk that you could be thrown through the opening in the event of the vehicle overturning. Therefore, always wear a seat belt to reduce the risk of injuries.

Only open the sliding/tilting sunroof if it is free of snow and ice. Otherwise, malfunctions may occur.

Do not allow anything to protrude from the sliding/tilting sunroof. The seals could otherwise be damaged.

Resonance noises can occur in addition to the usual airflow noises when the sliding/tilting sunroof is open. They are caused by minor pressure fluctuations in the vehicle interior.

Change the position of the sliding/tilting sunroof or open a side window slightly to reduce or eliminate these noises.


It is also possible to open and close the sliding/tilting sunroof from the outside using the "Summer opening" more and "Convenience closing" more features respectively.

When PRE-SAFE®* has been activated, the sliding/tilting sunroof closes automatically in the event of danger, leaving a small gap open.
