CAUTION
Do not smoke, cause sparks or al-
low open flames when refueling.

Electric moon roof
Sliding operation
Tilting operation
To operate the moon roof, use the
switches beside the personal light.
The moon roof works when the ignition
switch is in the ºONº position. However,
if both front doors are closed, it works for
45 seconds even after the ignition switch
is turned off. It stops working when any
of the side doors or back door is opened.
Sun shade operationÐ
The sun shade can be opened or closed
by hand.
Sliding operationÐ
To open: Push the switch on the rear
side.
The roof will open and stop partway 35
mm (1.4 in.) from the fully opened posi-
tion. When you push the switch again, the
moon roof will open fully. To stop the roof
partway, push the same switch or tilt
switch while the roof is moving.
As driving with the moon roof opened fully
will cause wind throbs, we recommend
you to drive with the moon roof partway
35 mm (1.4 in.) from the fully opened
position.
The sun shade will be opened together
with the roof.
To close: Push the switch on the front
side. The roof will fully close. To stop the roof
partway, push the same switch or tilt
switch.
Tilting operationÐ
To tilt up: Push the switch on the ºUPº
side.
The roof will tilt up fully. To stop the roof
partway, push the same switch or slide
switch.
To lower: Push the switch on the opposite
side of the ºUPº side.
The roof will fully close. To stop the roof
partway, push the same switch or slide
switch.
Jam protection function (closing opera-
tion only):
During closing operation, the
moon roof stops and opens half way if
something gets caught between the moon
roof and frame.
If an impact is given to the moon roof,
this function may work without anything
caught.

New L/C100(U)29
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following. While the vehicle is moving, always
keep the head, hands and other
parts of the body of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Other-
wise, you could be seriously injured
if the vehicle stops suddenly or if
the vehicle is involved in an acci-
dent.
Always make sure nobody places
his/her head, hands and other parts
of the body in the roof opening be-
fore you close the roof. If some-
one's neck, head or hands gets
caught in the closing roof, it could
result in a serious injury. When
anyone closes the roof, first make
sure it is safe to do so.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the moon roof switches and get
trapped in the roof opening. Unat-
tended children can become in-
volved in serious accidents.
Never sit on top of the vehicle
around the roof opening.
Never try jamming any part of your
body to make the jam protection
function work intentionally.
The jam protection function may
not work when something gets
caught just before the moon roof is
fully closed.
