WARNING
When opening or closing the roller sunblind
parts of the body could be trapped between
the roller sunblind and the frame or sliding
sunroof. There is a risk of injury.

parts of the body are in the sweep of the roller
sunblind.

The roller sunblinds shield the vehicle interior
from sunlight. The two roller sunblinds can
only be opened and closed together when the
sliding sunroof is closed.
Roller sunblind reversing feature
The roller sunblinds are equipped with an
automatic reversing feature. If a solid object
blocks or restricts the roller blind during the
closing process, the roller blind opens again
automatically. However, the automatic
reversing feature is only an aid and does not
relieve you of the responsibility to pay atten-
tion when closing the roller blinds.

react to soft, light and thin objects, such as
small fingers.This means that the reversing
feature cannot prevent someone being trap-
ped in these situations. There is a risk of
injury.

body are in the sweep of the roller sunblind.
If someone is trapped:
R
