Unsupervised use of the vehicle key can result in the vehicle being locked, the engine being started, the ignition being switched on and the electric panorama sliding/tilting glass roof being operated.

• The electric panorama sliding/tilting glass roof can be operated for a short time after the ignition has been switched off, provided the driver door or the front passenger door is not opened.
