Controls in detail Panorama roof with power tilt/sliding panel* ! To avoid damaging the seals, do not transport any objects with sharp edges which can stick out of the tilt/sliding panel. Do not open the tilt/sliding panel if there is snow or ice on the roof, as this could result in malfunctions. The tilt/sliding panel can be opened or closed manually should an electrical malfunction occur ( page 414). In a vehicle rollover, occupants not wearing their seat belts or not wearing them properly may be thrown out of the opening. Such an opening also presents a potential for injury for occupants wearing their seat belts properly as entire body parts or portions of them may protrude from the passenger compartment. When leaving the vehicle, always remove the SmartKey or the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO* from the starter switch, take it with you, and lock the vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment can cause an accident and/or serious personal injury. i You can also open or close the tilt/sliding panel using the SmartKey (summer opening/convenience closing feature) ( page 220) or ( page 221). You can close and reopen the tilt/sliding panel using the air recirculation switch O in the control panel of the climate control ( page 194) or ( page 206). Switch on the ignition ( page 33). 228
