ꢀ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS

The power sunroof has an overheating protection feature that can temporarily turn the electric motor

off under certain circumstances. This can happen after, for example, overriding the motor too often

when closing the power sunroof without the pinch protection.

After the motor has cooled down enough, the overheating protection feature will let the motor work

again and the power sunroof can be opened or closed with the rotary switch.

Before you try to use emergency closing procedures to close the power sunroof, please wait several

minutes to make sure that the motor has not been temporarily turned off by the overheating protection

feature.

If you must perform an emergency closing, please do so in the following order:

1. Remove the cover in direction of the arrow ⇒ꢀfig. 154.

2. Insert a commercially available 1/6 in. (4 mm) Allen wrench⁶into the hexagonal head screw

⇒ꢀfig. 155 (1).

3. Turn the wrench counterclockwise to close the power sunroof.

4. Install the cover again.

5. Have the power sunroof checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or an authorized

Volkswagen Service Facility. Emergency closing may cause the power sunroof and its pinch

protection to malfunction.
