Opening And Closing The Roof Opening Panel Blind

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A blind is integrated into the roof opening panel frame. You can open and close the blind when the roof opening panel is in either the tilted, open or closed position. When the roof opening panel opens (slides rearward) the blind automatically slides rearward and cannot be pulled forward until the roof opening panel is in a forward position.

The front and the rear of the switch for the roof opening panel blind has a two-stage operation so that you can either partially or fully open or close the blind.

Press and hold the rear of the switch to partially or fully open the blind. Press and hold the front of the switch to partially or fully close the blind.

Alternatively, press fully and then release either the rear or the front of the rocker switch to fully open or fully close the blind automatically.

You can open the roof opening panel blind whenever you want, but you can only close it when the roof opening panel is closed. If the roof opening panel is partially closed, then the blind will only partially close to the same position as the panel.

If the blind encounters a resistance when closing, it stops and then (depending on its current position) it either partially or fully opens. This allows you to remove the obstruction to either prevent personal injury or damage to the mechanism. Press or hold the front of the switch, within 10 seconds of the partial or full opening, to override.
