Sunshade pinch protection

The pinch protection can reduce the risk of being pinched and injured when the sunshade is closing→ . If the sunshade encounters resistance or an obstacle when closing, the sunroof will open again immediately.

1. Check why the sunroof did not close.

2. Try again to close the sunshade.

If the sunshade still encounters resistance or an obstacle and will not close, open the sunshade again. Within a short time after opening, you can close the sunshade again without pinch protection.

3. If the sunshade is still not able to close, close the sunshade without pinch protection.

Closing the sunshade without pinch protection

1. Try again to close the sunshade.

2. If the sunshade still cannot be closed, swipe forward on the function key within 5 seconds→ fig. 1 and hold until the sunshade is completely closed.

This will close the sunshade without pinch protection.

3. If the sunshade still will not close, contact an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility for assistance. Volkswagen recommends contacting an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility.

If you release the function key during the closing process, the sunshade will open again automatically.

Control is responding differently than expected

Moisture, dirt and grease may limit the functioning of the control.

1. Always keep the control clean and dry.

WARNING

Closing the sunshade without pinch protection may result in serious injuries.

• Always be careful when closing the sunshade.
• Ensure that nobody is within the range of operation of the sunshade, especially if it is closing without pinch protection.

Windshield with communication window

Fig. 1 Next to the mirror base: Communication window (general example).

Windshields made of heat protection glass may have an infrared-reflecting coating and may, depending on the vehicle equipment, be able to be wirelessly heated. In order to ensure that wireless equipment from the accessories industry, e.g. toll systems, can function correctly, an uncoated area is present on either side of the interior rearview mirror (communication window) → fig. 1.

The uncoated areas must not be covered from the inside or outside, or have stickers on them, because this could cause malfunctions.
