Controls in detail Power tilt/sliding sunroof Power tilt/sliding sunroof Opening and closing power tilt/sliding sunroof When closing the tilt/sliding sunroof with the obstruction sensor function deactivated, make sure no one can become trapped, as this could result in serious or fatal injuries. The opening/closing procedure of the tilt/sliding sunroof can be immediately halted by releasing the switch or, if the switch was moved past the resistance point and released, by moving the switch in any direction. The tilt/sliding sunroof is made out of glass. In the event of an accident, the glass may shatter. This may result in an opening in the roof. 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 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. A child's unsupervised access to a vehicle could result in an accident and/or serious personal injury. Warning! G When closing the tilt/sliding sunroof, make sure there is no danger of anyone being harmed by the closing procedure. If the tilt/sliding sunroof is blocked while closing and reopens, it can be closed with greater force if you pull the switch to the resistance point in the direction indicated by arrow 3 within 2 seconds. If the tilt/sliding sunroof is blocked again and reopens, you can close it with deactivated obstruction sensor function by pulling the switch again to the resistance point in the direction indicated by arrow 3 within 2 seconds. ! To avoid damaging the seals, do not transport any objects with sharp edges which can stick out of the tilt/sliding sunroof. Do not open the tilt/sliding sunroof if there is snow or ice on the roof, as this could result in malfunctions. ! Please keep in mind that weather conditions can sometimes change rapidly. Make sure to close the tilt/sliding sunroof when leaving the vehicle. If water enters the vehicle interior, vehicle electronics could be damaged which is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. 273
