The sunroof can be opened or closed
electrically only when the ignition switch
is in the ON position.

Tilt Operation
The rear of the sunroof can be tilted open
to provide more ventilation.
To fully tilt automatically, push the rear of
the tilt switch.
To stop tilting partway, push any part of
the tilt or slide switch.
To close to the desired position, push the
front of the tilt or slide switch.
Sunroof*
Extending the Head or Arms
Through the Sunroof:
Extending the head, arms, or other
parts of the body through the sunroof
is dangerous. The head or arms could
hit something while the vehicle is
moving. This could cause death or
serious injury. Don’t let passengers
stand up or extend anything through
the open sunroof while the vehicle is
moving.
Closing the Sunroof:
A closing sunroof is dangerous. The
hands, head, or even neck of a person
—especially a child— could be
caught in it as it closes, causing
serious injury or even death. Make
sure the opening is clear before
closing the sunroof.
