If the panoramic sunroof on your Peugeot 2008 Mk2 (P24, 2019–present) stops auto-closing, won’t tilt properly, or behaves oddly after a flat or disconnected battery, it needs re-initialising. The roof motor has lost its learned positions; re-teaching them takes under a minute with the roof switch.
Why It Happens
The sunroof controller stores its tilt, open and closed limits so it can run on one touch and auto-reverse on an obstruction. A power cut clears that memory.
How to Re-initialise the Sunroof
- Switch the ignition on.
- Hold the close switch until the roof is fully closed.
- Press and hold the switch again — the roof tilts and moves slightly; keep holding for about 1 second, then release.
- Wait 2 seconds, then press and hold the switch once more — the roof runs a full open/close cycle.
- Keep holding for 2 seconds at the end, then release — the system is reset.
If It Doesn’t Complete
- Don’t release early — hold the switch through the whole cycle.
- Clear any obstruction in the roof track and make sure the battery is healthy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my 2008 sunroof stop auto-closing?
A battery disconnect or flat battery wiped its learned limits; re-initialise to restore one-touch and auto-reverse.
How do I reset the Peugeot 2008 sunroof?
Fully close it, hold the switch to tilt (1 s), wait 2 s, then hold again through a full open/close cycle.
Is it safe to do myself?
Yes — keep hands and objects clear of the roof opening during the cycle.
Do I need a tool?
No — it’s done with the sunroof switch only.
