The sunroof on a Mercedes SLK can be opened from both the outside and the inside of the vehicle. To open the sunroof from inside, press the opening button located on the central dashboard.

To open it from outside, press the button on the vehicle's remote control. To close it, follow the same steps.

If the opening mechanism does not work, it may be necessary to replace the relevant fuse located in the fuse box in the passenger glove compartment.
