Keys and doors
The sunroof operates only when the
ignition switch is in the "ON" position.
& To open the sunroof
Pull the switch to the "OPEN" side and
quickly release it to open the sunroof. The
sun shade will also be opened together
with the sunroof. The sunroof will stop at a
position 50 cm (20 in) away from the fully
closed position. Pull the switch again to
open the sunroof completely.
To stop the sunroof at a desired position,
momentarily push the switch to the
"CLOSE" or "OPEN" side.
After washing the vehicle or after it rains,
wipe away water on the roof prior to
opening the sunroof to prevent drops of
water from falling into the passenger
compartment.
& To close the sunroof
Push the switch to the "CLOSE" side then
quickly release it to close the sunroof. The
sunroof will stop at a position 20 cm (8 in)
away from the fully closed position. Push
the switch again to close the sunroof
completely.
To stop the sunroof at a desired position,
momentarily push the switch to the
"CLOSE" or "OPEN" side.
& Anti-entrapment function
When the sunroof senses an object
trapped between its glass and the vehi-
cle's roof during closure, it automatically
moves back by 15 cm (6 in) from that point
and then stops. The anti-entrapment
function may also be activated by a strong
shock on the sunroof even when there is
nothing trapped.
NOTE
. For the sake of safety, it is recom-
mended that you avoid driving with the
sunroof fully opened.
. Driving with the sunroof fully open
can cause an annoying sound to gen-
erate at high speeds. If such a condi-
tion has been encountered, use the
sunroof at the initial stop position of 50
cm (20 in).
. If the sunroof 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 "Sunroof – if the
sunroof 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 sunroof is
closed.
If the sunroof is opened, the sun shade
also moves back.
