Skoda Fabia: Electric sliding/tilting roof

Skoda Fabia Owners Manual

The sliding/tilting roof is operated with the rotary switch » Fig. 38 on page 54 and only works when the ignition is switched on. The control dial has several positions.

The sliding/tilting roof can still be opened, closed and tilted for approx. 10 minutes after switching the ignition off. However, as soon as one of the front doors is opened it is no longer possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof.

WARNING

Close the sliding/tilting roof carefully – risk of injury.

CAUTION

During the winter it may be necessary to remove any ice and snow in the vicinity of the sliding/tilting roof before opening it to prevent any damage to the opening mechanism and seal.

Note

If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it is possible that the sliding/tilting roof does not close fully. This is why the rotary switch must be set to position A » Fig. 38 on page 54 and pressed forwards for about 10 seconds.
