Safety Mechanism; Sunshade - Mitsubishi LANCER 2012 Manual

Safety mechanism

If a hand or head is trapped in the closing sunroof opening, the
safety mechanism will cause the sunroof to re-open automati-
cally. The opened sunroof will become operational again after
a few seconds.
If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more times consecu-
tively, normal closing of the sunroof will be aborted.
As an emergency measure, the sunroof can be closed in small
increments until it is completely closed by repeatedly pressing
the switch (2).
After performing the emergency measure, consult an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.
NOTE
The safety mechanism can be activated if the driving con-
ditions or other circumstances cause the sunroof to be sub-
jected to a physical shock similar to that caused by a
trapped hand or head.
CAUTION
!
The safety mechanism is deactivated just before the
sunroof closes. This allows the sunroof to close com-
pletely. Therefore be especially careful that fingers
are not trapped in the sunroof opening.
The safety mechanism is deactivated while the
switch (2) is pressed. Therefore be especially careful
that fingers are not trapped in the sunroof opening.
Do not deliberately trap your hands or head in
order to activate the safety mechanism.
Personal injury and malfunction of the sunroof
could result.

Sunshade

The sunshade can be opened or closed manually while the
sunroof is closed.
When the sunroof is opened, the sunshade will also open auto-
matically.
CAUTION
!
Do not attempt to close the sunshade when the
sunroof is opened.
Be careful that hands are not trapped when closing
the sunshade.
