CAUTION: Do not close the sun visor when the sun roof is in the ventilation position as this could damage the mechanism. |
NOTE:
The electrically-operated sun roof has an overload protecting circuit breaker which is activated when an object blocks the sun roof. Should this occur, remove the object and wait 20 seconds for the circuit breaker to reset. The sun roof should then function normally. Also check fuse no. 35.
