Operation
Sun roof operation is controlled by a switch mounted in the headlining.
NOTE: The switch must be released before operation in the alternative mode is allowed, i.e. when switching from tilt to slide or vice versa.
The sun roof can be operated when the starter switch is turned to position ’II’ and for up to 30 seconds after the starter switch is turned off, unless the driver’s door is opened in the meantime. To open the sun roof, pull the switch rearward, to close the sunroof, push the switch forward.
If the sun roof is in the closed position, to raise the rear edge, push the switch forward. To return the tilted roof to the closed position, pull the switch rearward.
Initial movement of the sun roof from the closed position will release its contact with the spring loaded front deflector. The deflector rises above roof level to minimise draughts and reduce air buffeting.
Sun roof failure
In the event of an electrical failure it may be necessary to manually move the sunroof. This can be achieved by removal of the plug from the headlining to expose the drive spindle, which can then be operated by a crank key.
For detailed electrical information refer to ERL (Electrical Reference Library) and circuit diagrams.
