Keys and doors
ignition switch is in the "ON" position.
& To open the moonroof
Push and quickly release the rear part of
the switch to open the moonroof. The sun
shade will also be opened together with
the moonroof. The moonroof will stop at a
position 20 in (50 cm) away from the fully
closed position. Push the switch again to
open the moonroof completely.
To stop the moonroof at a desired position,
simply push the opposite side of the
switch.
After washing the vehicle or after it rains,
wipe away water on the roof prior to
opening the moonroof to prevent drops
of water from falling into the passenger
compartment.
& To close the moonroof
Push and quickly release the front part of
the switch to close the moonroof. The
moonroof will stop at a position 8 in (20
cm) away from the fully closed position.
Push the switch again to close the moon-
roof completely.
To stop the moonroof at a desired position,
simply push the opposite side of the
switch.
& Anti-entrapment function
When the moonroof senses an object
trapped between its glass and the vehi-
cle's roof during closure, it automatically
moves back by 6 in (15 cm) from that point
and then stops. The anti-entrapment
function may also be activated by a strong
shock on the moonroof even when there is
nothing trapped.
NOTE
For the sake of safety, it is recom-
mended that you avoid driving with the
moonroof fully opened.
Driving with the moonroof fully open
can cause an annoying sound to gen-
erate at high speeds. If such a condi-
tion has been encountered, use the
moonroof at the initial stop position of
20 in (50 cm).
If the moonroof cannot be closed
through switch operation because of
system failure, it can be closed manu-
ally using a hex-head wrench. For the
procedure, refer to "Moonroof – if the
moonroof cannot be closed" in chapter
9 "In case of emergency".
& Sun shade
The sun shade can be slid forward or
backward by hand while the moonroof is
closed.
If the moonroof is opened, the sun shade
also moves back.
