Initializing the sunroof

If the vehicle battery has been disconnected or is dead, the sunroof must be initialized.

• The switch ⇒ Fig. 33 ⇒ Fig. 34  must be rotated to the Closed position ③ A.

• Pull the switch at the rear until the sunroof is fully closed.

• The power sunroof or sunshade will now close without pinch protection!

• Release the switch.

• Pull and hold the switch at the rear. The sunroof will open and close on its own.

• When the sunroof is closed once again, release the switch.

• If the sunroof still will not close, contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

Warning

• Always make sure that no one is in the way of the power sunroof when it is closing.

• Always take all vehicle keys with you when leaving the vehicle.

• Never leave children or persons requiring assistance unattended in the vehicle, especially if they have access to the remote control vehicle key. Unsupervised use of the remote control vehicle key can lock the vehicle, start the engine, switch on the ignition and operate the sunroof.

• The sunroof can still be opened or closed for a short period after the ignition has been switched off, as long as the driver or passenger door is not opened.

Warning

• Always be careful when closing the sunroof.

• Always make sure that no one is in the way when overriding pinch protection to close the sunroof.

• Pinch protection does not prevent fingers or other body parts from being pressed against the roof frame, thereby causing injury.

If the sunroof malfunctions or pinch protection does not operate properly. See an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance.
