When you quickly push and release the
switch, the moon roof will tilt down while
the switch is depressed and stop when
released.
Key off operation: If all the side doors
and back door are closed, it works for 43
seconds even after the ignition switch is
turned off. It stops working when either
front door is opened.
Jam protection function:
If something gets caught between the
moon roof and frame during slide clos-
ing operation, the moon roof stops and
then opens slightly.
If something gets caught between the
moon roof and frame during tilting
down operation, the moon roof stops
and then tilts up fully.
If the moon roof receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught. If the moon roof does not operate auto-
matically or the jam protection function
does not operate correctly, you should
normalize the moon roof.
To normalize the moon roof, push and
hold the switch toward the “TILT UP” side.
The moon roof will tilt up and down, then
slide open and close. After the slide close
operation, release the switch.
Make sure that the moon roof opens and
closes automatically. If the moon roof can-
not be operated properly, have it checked
by your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
While the vehicle is moving, always
keep the heads, hands and other
parts of the bodies of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Other-
wise, they could be seriously in-
jured if the vehicle stops suddenly
or if the vehicle is involved in an
accident.
Before you close the moon roof,
always make sure there is nobody
around the moon roof. You must
also make sure nobody places his
or her head, hands and other parts
of the body in the roof opening. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in the closing roof, it could
result in death or serious injury.
When anyone closes the moon roof,
first make sure it is safe to do so.

tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.
Never sit on top of the vehicle
around the roof opening.
Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally.

not work if something gets caught
just before the moon roof is fully
closed.
