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.
Sun Roof (2003-2014): Overview
The main task to the sun roof is to allow light and ventilation in the passenger compartment. This, in turn, makes the vehicle feel even more luxurious. The glass panel provides extra light to the driver and passengers, while vehicle ventilation can be regulated by opening or closing the sun roof. The sun roof has four preprogrammed positions:
- Closed
- Tilted
- Comfort
- Completely open.
Other positions can be set manually as desired.
The glass is tinted to protect the driver and passengers from strong sunlight. This tinting also protects against heat. The sunshade can also be used for these purposes.
