The sunroof needs to be reset when the sunroof control unit have communication problem or changed.

10.Suspension Reset 

Try reset electronic suspension air ride with the massage system close all doors koeo flip through messages system go to suspension reset or on off.

11.Gearbox (Transmission )Reset 

Procedure Reset Transmission Adaptive Learning DIY. Start the car and drive. Once you perform this procedure the Engine Control Unit (ECU) and Transmission Control Unit (TCU) will work together to learn how you drive by monitoring your driving pattern. After you follow this programming method of the TCU / ECU drive the car.

12.AFS Headlamp Reset 

'AFS' means Adaptive Front lighting System (at night with the Bi-Xenon headlights) it swivels either side, pressing that button means they stay pointing straight ahead and don't turn when you turn the steering wheel.
