The roof systems and tinted side windows on the new S-Class provide the ideal conditions for working and relaxing. If so desired, the panorama roof will open up
in stages to reveal the sun. The tinted panes of glass keep both its heat and the unwanted attention of people outside the vehicle at bay.
Roof systems and privacy.
Tinted heat insulating glass (option). Tinted heat insulating
glass for the rear windows protects passengers in the rear
from unwelcome attention and/or direct sunshine. At the

When the vehicle has been switched off, the panoramic
sliding sunroof can be opened and closed from outside
the vehicle. The “summer opening” and “convenience
closing” functions can be activated by the electronic igni-
tion key, by pressing the appropriate buttons for longer.
If the interior has been heated up by the sun’s rays, this
function can be used to ventilate the vehicle prior to getting
in. To do this, the side windows open and close in addition
to the glass roof. The panoramic sliding sunroof has an
obstruction sensor to prevent a hand, for example, being
caught in it. If the system senses something in the way, it
immediately ceases closing the roof and retracts it a little,
along with the sunblinds, if appropriate.
Panoramic sliding sunroof (option). With its large glazed
areas, this roof system provides a particularly bright and
friendly ambience in the interior. It consists, in the rear, of
a fixed panoramic glass sunroof; and at the front of an
electrically operated outer sliding glass roof. In addition,
two electric roller blinds afford the passengers some
shade when the sun is shining strongly. Two practical features
of the panoramic sliding sunroof ensure a high degree of
drive comfort. The glass roof automatically adjusts the
height at which it is raised to the current vehicle speed. At
higher speed the glass roof lowers itself, thereby lowering
the noise level and air circulation. The opposite occurs at
low speeds. The panoramic sliding sunroof also reacts by
itself to rain: if it is open at the time, it automatically goes
