the tool kit in the trunk.
If the electric motor will not close
the moonroof , do the f ollowing:
Check the f use f or the moonroof
motor (see page ). If the f use

Try closing the moonroof . If the

moonroof manually. To remove the round plug in the
center of the headliner, turn the

coin, then pry it out. Make sure to
align the tabs on the round plug to
the notches on the ceilling as
