Features of your vehicle
Automatic reversal
OYF049215
If an object or part of the body is de‐
tected while the sunroof glass or sun‐
shade is closing automatically, it will re‐
verse the direction, and then stop.
The auto reverse function does not
work if a tiny obstacle is between the
sliding glass or sunshade and the sun‐
roof sash. You should always check
that all passengers and objects are
away from the sunroof before closing
it.

(Continued)
• Be careful that no head, hands and
body parts are obstructed by a
closing sunroof.
• Do not extend the face, neck,
arms or body outside the sunroof
while driving.
• Make sure your hands and head
are safely out of the way before
closing a sunroof.
• A panorama sunroof is made of
glass, therefore it may break in an
accident. If you do not have your
seat belt on, you may stick out of
the broken glass and get injured or
killed. For all passengers' safety,
have an appropriate protection on
(ex. seat belt, CRS, etc.).
CAUTION
• Periodically remove any dirt that
may accumulate on the guide rail.
• If you drive with the sunroof
opened right after a car wash or
rain, water may get inside the ve‐
hicle.
CAUTION
n Sunroof motor damage
If you try to open the sunroof when
the temperature is below freezing or
when the sunroof is covered with
snow or ice, the glass or the motor
could be damaged.
Resetting the sunroof
Whenever the vehicle battery is discon‐
nected or discharged, you must reset
your sunroof system as follows:
1. Start the engine.
2. Close the sunshade and sunroof
completely if opened.
3. Release the sunroof control lever.
4. Push the sunroof control lever for‐
ward in the direction of close
(about 10 seconds) until the sun‐
shade slightly moves. Then, release
the lever.
