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
