The sun shade can be slid forward or backward by
hand while the moonroof is closed.
If the moonroof is opened, the sun shade also moves
back. !
Moonroof (Station wagon)
The front moonroof has a tilting function and the rear
moonroof has a sliding function.
Both moonroofs operate only when the ignition switch
is in the “ON” position. ! Tilting moonroof
A) Open
B) Close To tilt up the front moonroof, open the sun shade and
pull the switch to the “OPEN” side.
To tilt down the front moonroof, push the switch to the
“CLOSE” side, then quickly release it. If you wish to
stop the tilting-down motion of the front moonroof part-
way, either pull the switch to the “OPEN” side or push
it to the “CLOSE” side. !

approximately 6.7 in (17 cm) from its fully closed posi- tion.
After confirming safety, pull the switch to the “OPEN”
side again and quickly release it. The rear moonroof
will open to its fully open position. To stop the rear
moonroof at some selected mid-way point while it is
moving toward its fully open position, momentarily
push the switch to the “CLOSE” or “OPEN” side.
To fully close the rear moonroof, push the switch to the
“CLOSE” side then quickly release it.
The rear moonroof will stop at a position approximate-
ly 5.9 in (15 cm) before its fully closed position. After
confirming safety, pull the switch to the “CLOSE” side
again and quickly release it. The rear moonroof will ful-
ly close. The front moonroof can then be fully closed. !Anti-entrapment function
When the moonroof senses an object trapped be-
tween its glass and during closure, it automatically
moves back by 5.9 in (15 cm) from that point and then
stops. The anti-entrapment function may also be acti-
vated by a strong shock on the moonroof even when
there is nothing trapped.
NOTE " For the sake of safety, it is recommended that
you avoid driving with the moonroof fully opened. " Driving with the moonroof fully open can cause an annoying sound to generate at high speeds. If
such a condition has been encountered, use the
moonroof at the initial stop position of 6.7 in (17 cm). "
If the moonroof cannot be closed through
switch operation because of system failure, it can
be closed manually using a hex-head wrench. For
the procedure, refer to “Moonroof – if the moon-
roof cannot be closed” in Chapter 9. ! Sun shades
The sun shade can be slid forward or backward by
hand while the moonroof is closed.
If the moonroof is opened, the sun shade also movesUB2509BA

"Never turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”
while the vehicle is being driven or towed be-
cause that will lock the steering wheel, prevent-
ing steering control. And when the engine is
turned off, it takes a much greater effort than
usual to steer. " Before leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key from the ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child to remains in
the vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure
could result in injury to a child or others. They
could operate the power windows, the sunroof
or other controls or even make the vehicle
move.
The ignition switch has four positions: LOCK, ACC,
ON and START.
NOTE " Keep the ignition switch in the “LOCK” position
when the engine is not running. " Using electrical accessories for a long time with
the ignition switch in the “ON” or “ACC” position
can cause the battery to go dead.
If the ignition switch will not move from the“LOCK” position to the “ACC” position, turn the
steering wheel slightly to the left and right as you turn the ignition switch." If the key is attached to a keyholder or to a large
bunch of other keys, centrifugal force may act on
it as the vehicle moves, resulting in unwanted
turning of the ignition switch. Also, if a large key-

holder is attached to the key, your knees or hands
may accidentally touch it in a way that turns the ig-
nition switch. !
LOCK
The key can only be inserted or removed in this posi-
tion. The ignition switch will lock the steering wheel when you remove the key.
If turning the key is difficult, turn the steering wheel
slightly to the right and left as you turn the key. ! Automatic transmission vehicles
The key can be turned from “ACC” to “LOCK” only
when the selector lever is in the “P” position. !
Manual transmission vehicles
The key can be turned from “ACC” to “LOCK” only
when the key is pushed in while turning it. ! ACC
In this position the electrical accessories (radio, ac-
cessory power outlet, etc.) can be used. ! ON
This is the normal operating position after the engine
is started.

!START
Do not turn the ignition switch to the “START”
position while the engine is running.
The engine is started in this position. The starter
cranks the engine to start it. When the key is released
(after the engine has started), the key automatically
returns to the “ON” position. ! For vehicle with immobilizer
If your registered key fails to start the engine, pull out
the key once (the security indicator light will blink), and
then insert the key in the ignition switch and turn it to
the “START” position to start the engine again.
NOTE
The engine may not start in the following cases: "
The key grip is touching another key or a metal-
lic key holder.
