“PANIC” SWITCH
Pushing the “PANIC” switch blows the
horn intermittently and flashes the
headlights, tail lights, turn signal lights
and interior light.
The “PANIC” switch is used to deter ve-

vehicle.
The alarm will last for one minute. To stop
alarm midway, push the “PANIC” switch
once again, unlock any door with the key
or transmitter, or turn the ignition key from
the “LOCK” to “ON” position.
The “PANIC” mode does not work when
the ignition key is in the “ON” position.SWITCHING BEEP SOUND ON AND OFF
You can switch the beep on and off. (The
beep is on initially and after battery re-
placement.)

switch is turned off. It stops working when
either of the front doors are opened.

The sun shade can be opened or closed
by hand.
Sliding operation—
To open: Push and hold the switch for 1
second on the “SLIDE OPEN” side.
The roof will fully open automatically. To
stop the roof partway, push the switch on
either the “SLIDE OPEN” or “TILT UP”
side briefly.
The sun shade will be opened together
with the roof.
To close: Push and hold the switch for 1
second on the “TILT UP” side.
The roof will fully close automatically. To
stop the roof partway, push the switch on
either the “SLIDE OPEN” or “TILT UP”
side briefly.Tilting operation—

this function may work even if nothing is
caught.
If the battery is disconnected or run
down, the moon roof may not operate
automatically and the jam protection func-
tion will not function correctly after you

closes automatically. If the moon roof can-
not be operated properly, have it checked
by your Toyota dealer.

keep the heads, hands and other
parts of the bodies of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Other-

jured if the vehicle stops suddenly
or if the vehicle is involved in an
accident.
