Sunroof
Your vehicle may be equipped with a power sliding
sunroof. To open or close your sunroof, the ignition
needs
to be on or RAP needs to be active. See
“Retained Accessory Power” under Ignition Positions on
page 2- 18.
Press and release the rear side of the button located in
the front overhead console to express-open the glass
panel and sunshade.
To close the glass panel,
press and hold the front of the button. The glass will not
be fully seated unless the button is held until the glass stops moving.
With the sunroof closed, press the
forward side of the button to open the sunroof
to the
vent position.
The sunroof
is also equipped with a sunshade which
you can pull forward to block sun rays.
If a hand, arm, or other object is blocking the sunroof
glass panel as
it is closing, the glass panel will stop
at the obstruction. After the obstruction
is removed, the
glass panel can be closed or opened.
Use care not to leave the sunroof open for long periods
of time as debris may collect in the tracks.
If the battery has been recharged, disconnected or is
not working, you may need to reprogram the sunroof.
To do this, start the vehicle and press the forward
side of the sunroof button until the glass panel moves
to
a fully closed position. Release, and press again to
move to the vent position which occurs when the sunroof
is fully tilted rearward. This will reset the memory and
enable the sunroof to function properly.

Care of Your CD and DVD Player
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics
with iubricants internal to the
CD mechanism.
Cleaning the Video Screen
Pour some isopropyl or rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth
and gently wipe the video screen. Do not spray
directly onto the screen and do not press too hard or
too long on the video screen.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand most car washes
without being damaged.
If the mast should ever
become slightly bent, you can straighten it out by hand.
If the mast is badly bent, as it might be by vandals,
you should replace it. Check occasionally to be sure
the mast is still tightened
to the cowl. If tightening is required, tighten by hand,
then with a wrench one quarter turn.
XMTM Satellite Radio Antenna
System
Your XMTM Satellite Radio antenna is located on the
roof
of your vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of
snow and ice build up for clear radio reception.
The performance of your XMTM system may be affected
if your sunroof is open.
Loading items onto the roof of your vehicle can interfere
with the performance of your
XMiM system. Make
sure that the XMTM satellite antenna
is not obstructed.
