    Panoramic Roof Blind Auto Close

    Hi all,

    i'm having a strange thing starting to happen and I don't know if its due to something i've set...

    When I start the car, the Panoramic roof blinds open automatically. And also when I lock the car, the blind close themselves!

    I've looked around the manual for some ideas as to a setting within the global locking side, to see if this is expected, but can't find anything....

    Anyone know where this is controlled? It didn't originally happen. I was wondering if the updates I had to the car last week might have changed this?

    I thought only MY18 did that?

    Me too!?!?

    I've been trying to get hold of the dealership, as i'm sure its got something to do with the updates they done.

    Another strange thing is that when I unlock the car (by using the 'put my hand on the door handle gesture), the car unlocks, but then I get 2 'beeps' as though theres a problem?? Its the same sound you get if you try and lock the car and a doors still open..

    I am starting to dread taking mine to the dealer in a couple of weeks!

    Lol, I know what you mean! Mine seems to come out of the dealership with more wrong with it than it was before it went in!

    I've just found a small note on one of the manuals that says the beeps are due to a fault with the alarm sensors... great, another trip to the dealership next week!

    Does your roof blind always open? On MY18 it goes/stays where you left it when you got out.

    I find the buttons handy enough not to need auto close and open Laughing

    It's a setting I believe - during the handover mine set to open also - but I can't find how to disable this now...

    My blinds are set to auto but can’t remember where the option is. I think it’s in the touchscreen options somewhere. I think it’s a pretty cool ( no pun intended) feature, especially when mine arrives in Cyprus in a few weeks ready for the summer.

    I can’t find any settings but mine is a MY18 and the behaviour is that if you leave the blinds closed they they closed but if you leave the blinds open they’ll close when you lock the car and reopen when you start the car.

    AUTOMATIC ROOF BLIND:
    The automatic operation of the roof blind can be adjusted via the climate settings screen on the touchscreen display.

    When the feature is selected and the doors are locked, the roof blind closes automatically. When the engine is running, the roof blind returns to the previous open position.

    You beat me to it... 20 minutes of stoping and starting, locking and unlocking, getting in and out..

    It seems to simply remember how you left it before you got out and locked up.

    As Hessel said - it's likely that this behaviour can be overridden from the climate settings - but I am happy with this as it is.

    PANORAMIC ROOF BLIND RESET
    The fixed panoramic roof blinds need to be reset if the battery is disconnected, becomes discharged, or the power supply is interrupted.
    To reset the panoramic roof blind:
    Switch on the engine.
    With the blinds closed, press the front of the front blind switch and hold it for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, the front and rear blinds fully close. If already in the closed position, an audible click sounds. Release the switch. Within 5 seconds, re-press and hold the front of the front blind switch until the blinds complete a full open and close cycle.
    Once the rear blind stops moving, release the switch.
    The blinds can now be operated as normal.

    Regards - David

    Sorry Russell - I couldn’t say.

    I’m not entirely sure I know how my own car works - the manual is awful and I haven’t been able to sit in it long enough to work it out.
