The main functions of the sun roof are to provide light and ventilation to the passenger compartment. Both functions give the vehicle a more luxurious impression. The glass lets in extra light, and ventilation can be regulated by opening the sun roof. The glass has three preprogrammed positions:

Other positions can be selected manually according to requirements.

The glass is tinted to protect the driver and the passenger against strong sunlight. The tint also prevents heat from penetrating the passenger compartment.

The sun roof also has an inner, manual, sliding sun screen When the glass sun roof is opened, the sun screen is automatically moved back. The sun screen can only be closed manually.
