Operating the laminated panoramic roof*

When opened automatically, the sun shade and roof open first to the "comfort" position that helps reduce wind noise and then open completely.

In the tilt (ventilation) position, the rear edge of the front section of the roof is raised.

Manual operation

Opening the sun shade: Pull the control back to the first stop (the manual open position) and hold it until the sun shade has opened to the position of your choice.
Opening the laminated panoramic roof: Pulling the control back to the first stop (the manual open position) and holding it a second time will open the laminated panoramic roof to the "comfort" position that helps reduce wind noise while driving. Pull the control a third time to open the roof completely.

Perform this procedure in reverse order to close the laminated panoramic roof and/or sun shade.

Movement of the laminated panoramic roof will stop if the control is released while it is in the manual open position.

 Note

For manual opening, the sun shade must first be fully open before it will be possible to open the laminated panoramic roof. When closing, the laminated panoramic roof must be fully closed before the sun shade can be closed.

Automatic operation

Opening the sun shade: Pull the control as far back as possible (to the auto open position) and release it.
Opening the laminated panoramic roof: Pull the control as far back as possible a second time (to the auto open position) and release it to open the laminated panoramic roof to the "comfort" position that helps reduce wind noise while driving. Pull the control a third time (to the auto open position) and release it to open the roof completely.

Perform this procedure in reverse order to close the laminated panoramic roof/sun shade. The roof will not stop at the "comfort" position if it is closed from the fully open position.

The laminated panoramic roof will stop when it reaches the "comfort" position, the fully open position or the closed position. Movement will also stop if the control is moved in the opposite direction to the movement of the roof.

The roof will not stop at the "comfort" position if it is closed from the fully open position.

Quick open/close

The laminated panoramic roof and the sun shade can be opened/closed at the same time:

  • Open: pull the control back (to the auto open position) twice in quick succession and release it.
  • Close: push the control forward (to the auto close position) twice in quick succession and release it.

The laminated panoramic roof will stop when it reaches the "comfort" position or the closed position. Movement will also stop if the control is moved in the opposite direction to the movement of the roof.

The roof will not stop at the "comfort" position if it is closed from the fully open position. The sun shade never stops when the roof reaches the "comfort" position.

Tilt (ventilation) position

P5-1507-Tilt opening/closing roof
Tilt position, raised at the rear edge
  1. P5-Icon red arrow 1Open (raise the rear edge of the front glass section) by pressing the rear edge of the control upward.
  2. P5-Icon red arrow 2Close by pulling the rear edge of the control downward/forward and holding it until the laminated panoramic roof has closed completely.

If the sun shade is completely closed, it will open approximately 2 inches (5 cm) when the laminated panoramic roof is opened to the tilt position.

Automatically closing the sun shade1

When the vehicle is parked in sunny/warm weather, the sun shade can be closed automatically 15 minutes after the vehicle has been locked to help keep the temperature in the passenger compartment down and to protect the upholstery from the sun.

This function is deactivated by default and can be activated/deactivated:

Tap Settings in the center display's Top view.

Tap My CarLocking.

Select Auto Close Sun Curtain to activate/deactivate.

Closing using an outside door handle2

To close the panoramic roof when locking the vehicle, hold the pressure sensitive surface on the outside of a door handle until the panoramic roof has closed completely. The panoramic roof will stop if the button is released before it is fully closed. (This also applies to the windows).

Pinch protection (auto-stop)

The laminated panoramic roof has a pinch protection feature that is triggered if the glass section of the roof and/or the sun shade is blocked in any way when being closed. In this case, the laminated panoramic roof and/or sun shade will stop and reverse automatically approximately 2 in. (5 cm) from the point at which it was blocked (or will open fully to the tilt position).

The pinch protection feature also functions when the laminated panoramic roof and/or sun shade is being opened.

 Warning

If the pinch protection (auto-stop) feature has been triggered, the laminated panoramic roof and/or sun shade can still be operated once more within 10 seconds without pinch protection. Pinch protection can be overridden if the closing procedure has been interrupted (e.g., due to ice around the laminated panoramic roof) by pressing and holding the control forward/downward until the laminated panoramic roof and/or sun shade is closed.
