72 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
OPENING AND CLOSING THE
SUNROOF
The sunroof has two programmed automatic stops for
the sunroof open position: a comfort stop position and
a full open position. The comfort stop position has been
optimized to minimize wind buffeting.
Express Open/Close
Push the switch rearward and release it within one-half
second and the sunroof will open automatically from
any position. The sunroof will open fully and stop
automatically.
Push the switch forward and release it within one-half
second and the sunroof will close automatically from
any position. The sunroof will close fully and stop
automatically.
During Express Open or Express Close operation, any
other movement of the sunroof switch will stop the
sunroof.
Manual Open/Close
To open the sunroof, push and hold the switch in the
rearward position.
To close the sunroof, push and hold the switch in the
forward position.
Any release of the switch during open or close opera-
tion will stop the sunroof movement. The sunroof will
remain in a partially opened position until the switch is
operated and held again.
NOTE:
If the sunshade is in the closed position when Express
or Manual Open operation is initiated the sunshade will
automatically open prior to the sunroof opening.
Venting The Sunroof
Push and release the Vent button within one-half sec-
ond and the sunroof will open to the vent position. This
is called Express Vent, and it will occur regardless of
sunroof position. During Express Vent operation, any
movement of the switch will stop the sunroof.
NOTE:
If the sunshade is in the closed position when the vent
switch is pushed, the sunshade will automatically open
prior to the sunroof opening to the Vent position.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE
POWER SUNSHADE
If the sunroof is open or vented, the sunshade cannot
be closed beyond the half open position. Pushing the
sunshade close switch when the sunroof is open/
vented and the sunshade is at half open position will
first automatically close the sunroof prior to the sun-
shade closing.
Express Open/Close
Push the sunshade switch rearward and release it
within one-half second, the sunshade will open
automatically.
Push the sunshade switch forward and release it within
one-half second and the sunshade will close
automatically.
During Express Open or Express Close operation, any
other actuation of the sunroof switches will stop the
sunshade in a partially open position.
Manual Open/Close
Push and hold the sunshade switch rearward, the sun-
shade will open.
Push and hold the switch forward and the sunshade will
close and stop at full closed position.
Releasing the switch while the sunshade is in motion
will stop the sunshade in a partially open position.

PINCH PROTECT FEATURE

The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system capable of
detecting the presence of an obstacle during the clos-
ing movement. If an obstacle is detected, the system
intervenes and the movement of the sunroof is immedi-
ately reversed.

RE-INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE

Automatic operation of the sunroof must be
re-initialized in case of faulty sunroof operation. It may
also be necessary to re-initialize the sunroof after the
vehicle's battery has been disconnected and then
reconnected.
NOTE:
The anti-pinch safety device is deactivated during the
re-initialization procedure.
Proceed as follows:
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
2. Make sure the sunroof glass and the power sun-
shade are fully closed. Release the sunroof close
switch, then push and hold it again within five sec-
onds. Continue to hold the switch while the sun-
shade fully opens, the sunroof glass fully opens,
followed by the glass fully closing then the sunshade
fully closing.
3. Release the switch once all of the operations stop.
Re-initialization of the sunroof motor is now complete.
