Not all models are equipped with a sunroof. A description of the control of the sunroof using a single lock is given in Section Access, protection.
The electric drive mechanism of the sunroof has a function to prevent pinching, i.e. if excessive resistance occurs when closing the sunroof, the sunroof will be stopped and retracted. However, do not prevent the sunroof from closing, as this may cause injury.
The electric drive of the upper hatch cover operates in the following positions: "1" and "2" ignition switch.
The control is carried out using a switch located in the upper console.
The sunroof can be operated even after the ignition is switched off, as long as one of the front doors is not opened.
Press or move the switch in the required direction until you feel resistance – the hatch cover will rise or move in the corresponding direction. When the upper hatch cover is raised, the visor is moved back a few centimeters.
On some models, automatic opening and closing of the sunroof is available: if you move the switch beyond the resistance point, the sunroof cover will move to the fully open/closed position. In addition, if you briefly press the switch in the "Lift" direction with the sunroof open, the sunroof cover will rise to the maximum value, and if you briefly press the switch in the "Open" direction with the sunroof raised, the sunroof cover will move to the fully open position.
After power failures in the electric drive mechanism of the upper hatch cover (for example, after disconnecting the battery) it will only work for lifting and lowering. To restore full operation of the electric drive of the upper hatch cover, lift it to the maximum value and hold the switch in this position for about 5 seconds.
