Sun Roof
The sun roof is operated using a switch in the same unit in the roof as for the front reading lamps. The sun roof can be opened and closed as well as angled up slightly at the rear edge.
The sun roof is driven by a motor which is in the roof, in front of the sun roof. The position of the sun roof is determined by two sensors.
The sunroof is equipped with a sunroof module (SRM).
There are diagnostics for the sun roof.
