Closing Roof Module (Panoramic Roof) Via Emergency Operation And Initialising Final Deactivation

INFORMATION

Information - Closing roof assembly (panorama roof) via emergency operation

If the roof cannot be closed using the rotary switch (e.g. roof jammed), the roof can be closed using the emergency operation mechanism. This deactivates anti-crushing protection and the roof is closed with full engine torque.

INFORMATION: Before closing the roof using the emergency operation mechanism, make sure there are no foreign bodies obstructing the end positions of the roof. Anti-pinch protection is deactivated in the emergency operation setting.

WARNING: Anti-pinch protection deactivated in emergency operation setting
- Risk of squashing
- Risk of damage to components
- Do not reach into the danger area.
- Do not move components into the danger area.


1. Turn the rotary switch to the position "Close roof fully".
2. Keep pressing the emergency operation mechanism -arrow- until the roof is completely closed.







Initialising final deactivation

Final deactivation of the motors must be re-initialised if:
- the battery was disconnected or if an open circuit was detected at terminal 30
- a motor was replaced
- the control unit was replaced
- the lids of the roof assembly were adjusted using the emergency crank

WARNING: Danger of injury. Risk of material damage.
- Do not reach into the moving area of the mechanism when opening and closing the roof assembly.
- Anti-crushing protection is deactivated in emergency operation mode.
- If there is danger, release the rotary switch immediately or activate it in the opposite direction, or switch off the ignition.
- After replacing a motor or moving the lids with the ignition switched off, first close the roof and initialise the limit position.
- Never open the roof assembly without having initialised the limit position of the motors. Danger of collision for the two rear roof segments.


INFORMATION:
- Activate the switch for at least 5 seconds, but do not activate for more than 40 seconds.
- When the maximum duration of operation (> 40 seconds) is exceeded, the fault code 0409 (Rotary switch emergency button signal is permanently displayed) can be stored in the control unit.
- The fault code can only be detected if the fault memory of the control unit is read out using the Porsche System Tester.
- To initialise the end stops, the lids of the roof assembly are first closed and then opened briefly and closed again. The sun blind is only closed.
- If the lids are already closed before initialising the end stops, these are opened briefly and then closed again for initialisation purposes. If the sun blind is already closed, it is not moved during this procedure.
- Initialisation must be completed fully as otherwise the roof cannot be operated electrically.
- If initialisation is interrupted or terminated, the entire procedure must be repeated.

1. Switch on ignition and turn rotary switch to the position "Close roof fully". Wait until the roof remains in any position.







2. Hold the rotary switch in this position -arrow-. The closing operation starts after approx. 5 seconds. Keep the rotary switch pressed until the sun blind and the roof are closed. First the sun blind is closed; then the lid of the roof assembly is closed, opened briefly, and closed again. The rear lid of the roof assembly only closes after the rotary switch is released -arrow-.
3. Relieve the seals from strain by briefly opening and then closing the roof again.
4. Read out the fault memory with the Porsche System Tester and erase existing faults.
