Peugeot 2008: Unlocking the vehicle / Sunroof

The sunroof consists of a movable glass panel that slides over the roof and a blind that can be opened independently. Opening the sunroof automatically opens the blind.

• To operate the panoramic sunroof, use the button in the roof console.

The sunroof can be operated when the ignition is turned on (if the battery is charged enough), with the engine running, in STOP mode of Stop & Start, and up to 45  seconds after turning off the ignition or after locking the vehicle.

Precautions

Do not put your head or arms through the sunroof while the vehicle is moving - risk of serious injury!

Ensure that any luggage or accessories carried on the roof bars do not interfere with the movement of the sunroof.

Do not place heavy loads on the movable glass panel of the sunroof.

If the sunroof is wet, following a shower or washing the vehicle, wait until it is completely dry before opening.

Do not operate the sunroof if it is covered by snow or ice - risk of damage!

Use only plastic scrapers to remove snow or ice from the sunroof.

Check the condition of the sunroof seals regularly (presence of dust or deposits, dead leaves, etc.).

If using a car wash, check first that the roof is correctly closed and keep the high-pressure jet at least 30 centimetres from the seals.

Never leave the vehicle with the sunroof open.

Operation

When opening the sunroof fully, the movable glass moves to a partially open position, then slides over the roof. All intermediate positions are allowed.

Depending on the speed of the vehicle, the partially open position may vary to improve the acoustics.

Before operating the sunroof control button, ensure that no object or person might prevent the movement.

Pay particular attention to children when operating the sunroof.

If something is trapped when operating the sunroof, reverse the movement of the sunroof by pressing the control button in question.

The driver must ensure that passengers use the sunroof correctly.

Anti-pinch system

If the sunroof encounters an obstacle when closing, the movement is automatically reversed.

The roof anti-pinch system is designed to be effective at speeds of up to 75 mph (120  km/h).

Opening/closing the sunroof

• To open the sunroof, use the part of the button located towards the rear.
• To close the sunroof, use the part of the button located towards the front.

Operating the button

• Pressing the button beyond its point of resistance opens or closes the sunroof fully.
• Pressing the button again stops the movement in progress.
• By keeping the button pressed (without going beyond the point of resistance), the movement of the glass stops when this button is released.
• When the sunroof is closed: pressing once without passing the point of resistance moves it to the partially open position.
• When the sunroof is partially open: pressing once without passing the point of resistance opens or closes it fully.

The sunroof and windows can be closed by holding down the door locking control.

The operation stops as soon as the locking control is released.

Opening/closing the blind

• To open the blind, pull the handle backwards until the desired position is reached.
• To close the blind, push the handle forwards until the desired position is reached.

Reinitialisation

Reinitialisation is required after reconnecting the battery, or if the sunroof malfunctions or moves in a jerky manner.

• Check that nothing is affecting the movement of the sunroof and that the seals are clean.
• With the ignition on, fully close the sunroof.
• Press and hold the front part of the button until the sunroof moves slightly, hold for a further 1 second, then release.
• Wait 2 seconds then press and hold the front part of the button again. The sunroof will open and close again. Once the roof is fully closed again, hold for a further 2 seconds, then release.
