CAUTION
Do not place any foreign objects,
especially metal ones, such as
coins or aluminum foil, into the
accessory power outlet. That
could cause a short circuit. Always
put the cap on the accessory
power outlet when it is not in
use...
Anti-entrapment function
When the moonroof senses a substantial
enough object trapped between its glass
and the vehicle’s roof during closure, it
automatically moves back to the fully open
position and stops there. The anti-entrapment
function may also be activated by a
strong shock on the moonroof even when
there is nothing trapped...
