To open or close the sunroof, the ignition must be ON
or Retained Accessory Power (RAP) must be active.
SeeRetained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-25.

from the closed or partially open position. To express
open the power sunroof, fully press the driver’s side
switch rearward once. To stop the sunroof glass in a
desired position other than to the express-open position,
press the switch again, in either direction, to stop the
movement. If the sunshade is in the closed position, it will
open with the sunroof, or it can be opened manually.Vent Open:To open the power sunroof to the vent
position from the closed position, press and hold the
passenger’s side sunroof switch forward. The rear of the
sunroof panel will tilt upward to the full vent position. The
sunshade must be opened manually.
Express Close:The express close feature will operate
from the open or partially open position. To express close
the power sunroof, fully press the driver’s side switch
forward once. To stop the sunroof glass in a desired
position other than closed, press the switch again in
either direction. The sunshade must be closed manually.

From the open position, press and hold the driver’s
side sunroof switch forward. The sunshade must be
closed manually.

while it is closing, the anti-pinch feature will detect the
object and stop the sunroof from closing at the point

full-open or vent position. To close the sunroof once it has
re-opened, refer to the two options previously described
under the “Close” feature instructions.

Care of the CD Player
The use of CD lens cleaners for CD players is not
advised, due to the risk of contaminating the internal
lens of the CD optics with lubricants.
Diversity Antenna System
The AM-FM antenna is integrated with the rear window
defogger, located in the rear window. Make sure that
the inside surface of the rear window is not scratched
and that the grid lines on the glass are not damaged.
If the inside surface is damaged, it could interfere
with radio reception.
Notice:Do not apply aftermarket glass tinting with
metallic lm. The metallic lm in some tinting
materials will interfere with or distort the incoming
radio reception. Any damage caused to your
antenna due to metallic tinting materials will not be
covered by your warranty.
Notice:Do not try to clear frost or other material
from the inside of the rear window with a razor blade
or anything else that is sharp, as this may damage
the rear window defogger grid and affect your
radio’s ability to pick up stations clearly. The repairs
would not be covered by your warranty.If static is heard on the radio, when the rear window
defogger is turned on, it could mean that a defogger grid
line has been damaged. If this is true, the grid line
must be repaired.
If adding an aftermarket cellular telephone to your
vehicle, and the antenna needs to be attached to the
glass, make sure that the grid lines for the AM-FM
antennas are not damaged. Make sure the cellular
telephone antenna does not touch a grid line.
XM™ Satellite Radio Antenna
System
The XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is located on the roof
of your vehicle. Keep this antenna clear of snow and
ice build up for clear radio reception.
If your vehicle has a sunroof, the performance of the
XM™ system may be affected if the sunroof is open.
Loading items onto the roof of your vehicle can interfere
with the performance of the XM™ system. Make sure
the XM™ Satellite Radio antenna is not obstructed.
