Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Anti-trapping Protection Function
Both the glass panel and the sunroof shade are equipped with an indirect anti-trapping protection function. The indirect anti-trapping protection function operates on the basis of the power consumption of the slide/tilt sunroof motor.
If the roof control module detects a trapping situation, the corresponding motor is stopped and controlled in the opposite direction. This opens the glass panel or sunroof shade again (approximately 20 cm) and releases the obstruction.
