Open (slide)
With the sunroof panel tilted, pushing the upper part of the rocker switch operates the sunroof motor to raise the sunroof panel and retract it backwards. A single press (between 0.5 and 1 second) of the switch operates the motor so that the panel automatically retracts to the fully open position. When the panel retracts, a wind deflector automatically raises at the front of the sunroof aperture, which serves to reduce wind noise.
When the open function is requested, the cables pull in a rearward direction, driving the glass panel attachments to slide the panel over the exterior roof skin.
With the sunroof panel half or fully open, pushing the lower part of the switch operates the motor to close the sunroof panel. A single press (between 0.5 and 1 second) of the switch operates the motor so that the panel automatically closes to the fully tilted position.
If only partial opening or closing is desired, pressing the switch momentarily (less than 0.5 seconds) in either direction will stop the sunroof panel movement. When movement is desired in either direction, pressing the switch will operate the motor to move the panel.
The sunroof has an 'anti-trap' function which prevents the sunroof panel from closing if an obstruction is sensed. When an obstruction is sensed, the motor will automatically retract the panel by 200mm or as far as possible. When the obstruction is removed, the panel can be closed by the normal method.
