54 0... Notes on glass slide/tilt sunroof (initialization/normalization/learning of characteristic curve): Notes
- Normalization
- Learning characteristic curve
The mechanical end positions are recorded and stored during normalization.
The characteristic curve is learnt immediately after normalization.
When the characteristic curve is learnt, the mechanical closing forces of the glass sunroof are recorded and stored for correct operation of the anti-trapping mechanism.
Initialization is started and implemented by pressing and holding switch in "Lift" direction.
Initialization depends on installed roof system and software used.
- if the glass sunroof has been mechanically moved by means of the emergency actuator
