Controls in detail Panorama roof with power tilt/sliding panel* Opening and closing the panorama roof with power tilt/sliding panel Warning! G When opening or closing the tilt/sliding panel, make sure that there is no danger of anyone being harmed by the opening or closing procedure. The opening procedure of the tilt/sliding panel 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 closing procedure of the tilt/sliding panel can be immediately halted by releasing the switch. The panorama roof with power tilt/sliding panel 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 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. A child's unsupervised access to a vehicle could result in an accident and/or serious personal injury. ! Please keep in mind that weather conditions can sometimes change rapidly. Make sure to close the tilt/sliding panel 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. i When the tilt/sliding panel is open, resonance noises may result in addition to the usual wind noises. They are caused by minimal pressure changes in the passenger compartment. To reduce or eliminate theses noises, change the position of the tilt/sliding panel or open a door window slightly. i You can also open or close the tilt/sliding panel using the SmartKey or the KEYLESS-GO* function, see "Summer opening feature" ( page 244) and "Convenience closing feature" ( page 245). ! 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. i The tilt/sliding panel may also open when using the air recirculation button : on the control panel of the climate control ( page 210) or automatic climate control* ( page 224). Switch on the ignition ( page 39). 253
