Roof Opening Panel - Roof Opening Panel
Description and Operation
General Description
The steel sliding roof panel which is externally painted to ma tch the vehicle and internally trimmed to match the headlining,
is of electrically operated tilt and slide design. Driven by a single electric motor via a cable and lever mechanism, the slidi ng
roof panel is operated via a switch on the roof console and controlled by the sliding roof control module (SRCM).
Both the electric motor and SRCM are mounted on an extens ion of the sliding roof panel frame and are accessed by
removing the roof console.
Operation
The sliding roof panel is a multi-feature unit providing tilt, one touch slide opening and closing, and slide position selectio n
on opening and closing. Additi onally, on operation of the vehicle automatic locking system with the roof panel open, an
input from the security and lockin g module will close it. On slide opening of the roof panel, a wind deflector elevates at the
aperture leading edge. In the event of electrical failure, the sliding roof can be manually operated by removing the roof
console and using a key or wide bladed scre wdriver in the slot in the motor spindle.
• NOTE: Following manual operation of the sliding roof panel, the motor drive must be re-engaged by manually turning the
spindle 1/4 turn counter-clockwise if the panel is open or clockwise if the panel is closed.
