Key In the Ignition
Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside, as it
is an easy target for joy riders or thieves. If you
leave the key in the ignition and park your vehicle, a
chime will sound, when you open the driver’s door.
Always remember to remove your key from the
ignition and take it with you. This will lock your
ignition and transaxle. Also, always remember to
lock the doors.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ignition while your vehicle is parked.
You may not be able to start your vehicle after it
has been parked for an extended period of time.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
Your vehicle has a Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) feature which will allow the radio and power
windows, and if your vehicle has heated seats
and sunroof, to continue to work up to 10 minutes
after the ignition is turned OFF.
The power windows, heated seats and sunroof will
work until any door is opened.
The radio will continue to work until the driver’s
door is opened.
All these features will work when the ignition key
is in the ON or ACC (Accessory) postions.

Convenience Net
The vehicle may have a convenience net located
on the back wall or the sides of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind the net.
It can help keep them from falling over.
The net is not for larger, heavier loads. Store
those in the trunk as far forward as possible.
Unhook the net so that it will lie at when not in use.
Sunroof
If your vehicle has a
sunroof, the switch is
located on the headliner
between the map lamps.
150

The sunroof will only operate while the ignition is in
ON or in ACC, or if Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) is active. SeeRetained Accessory Power
(RAP) on page 124.
Press the back of the switch and release it to open
the sunroof to the vent position. From the vent
position, press and release the back of the switch to
express-open the sunroof. To stop the sunroof from
express opening, press the switch again. If the
sunshade is closed, it will open automatically
when the sunroof opens past the vented position.
A deector will automatically raise when the
sunroof is opened. The deector will retract
when the sunroof is closed.
To close the sunroof, press the front of the switch
and hold it until the sunroof is closed. The sunroof
will stop if the switch is released. Close the
sunshade by hand.The sunroof glass panel cannot be opened or
closed if the vehicle has an electrical failure.
Notice:If you force the sunshade forward of
the sliding glass panel, damage will occur and
the sunroof may not open or close properly.
Always close the glass panel before closing the
sunshade.
Sunroof - Panoramic
If the vehicle has a panoramic sunroof, it has four
glass panels that tilt or stack upon each other,
when the sunroof control is turned to the vent or
one of three opened positions. There is a separate
control for the automatic sunshade.
The sunroof will only operate while the ignition is
ON or in ACC, or if Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) is active. SeeRetained Accessory Power
(RAP) on page 124.
151

The panoramic sunroof control is located on the
headliner. From the closed position, turn the
control clockwise to vent the sunroof or open it
to three different positions.
0 (Closed Position):Turn the control to this
position to close the panoramic sunroof.
1 (Vent Position):Turn the control to this position
to vent the panoramic sunroof. The front glass
panel of the sunroof will tilt forward and the
sunshade will automatically retract to the vent
position.2 (First-Open Position):Turn the control to this
position to open the panoramic sunroof about
a third of the way. The second glass panel
will retract and the fourth glass panel will stack
above the roof. The sunshade will automatically
retract to this position.
3 (Second-Open Position):Turn the control to
this position to open the panoramic sunroof about
half-way. The second glass panel will retract
and the third panel will stack in front of the fourth
glass panel. The sunshade will automatically
retract to this position.
4 (Full-Open Position):Turn the control to this
position to completely open the panoramic sunroof.
The second glass panel retracts and stacks in
front of the third and fourth panels. The sunshade
will automatically retract to the full-open position.
To lessen wind noise in this position, use the
automatic sunshade control and close the
sunshade to the comfort stop position. See
“Sunshade” following.
Anti-Pinch Feature
If an object is in the path of the sunroof when it is
closing, the anti-pinch feature will detect the object
and stop the sunroof from closing at the point of
obstruction. The sunroof will then reverse direction.
152

Sunshade
The automatic sunshade
control is located on the
headliner, between
the map lamp controls.
The sunshade can be independently opened or
closed while the panoramic sunroof is closed.
To express-open or express-close the sunshade,
press and release the control rearward or forward.
The sunshade will retract to the full-open or closed
position. To stop the movement of the sunshade,
press the control a second time. To close the
sunshade to a particular position, continue to press
the control and release it when the desired position
is reached.
Neither the panoramic sunroof nor the sunshade
can be opened or closed if the vehicle has an
electrical failure.
Retractable Hardtop
The following procedures explain the proper
operation of the retractable hardtop. The retractable
hardtop will not operate if the trunk cargo cover is
not in place.
If the retractable hardtop is lowered or raised
multiple times, the engine should be running while
doing so to prevent drain on the vehicle’s battery.
{CAUTION:
When the retractable hardtop is opened or
closed, people can be injured by the parts
that move: the hardtop and its mechanism,
the trunk lid, and the side windows. Keep
people away from these parts when you are
lowering or raising the top.

Care of Your CDs
Handle CDs carefully. Store them in their original
cases or other protective cases and away from
direct sunlight and dust. The CD player scans the
bottom surface of the disc. If the surface of a
CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD will not play properly or not
at all. If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a
soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in
a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with
water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process
starts from the center to the edge.
Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up
CDs by grasping the outer edges or the edge of
the hole and the outer edge.
Care of the CD Player
Do not use CD lens cleaners for CD players
because the lens of the CD optics can become
contaminated by lubricants.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The xed mast antenna can withstand most car
washes without being damaged. If the mast should
ever become slightly bent, straighten it out by
hand. If the mast is badly bent, replace it.
Check occasionally to make sure the mast is still
tightened to the antenna base located on the
roof of the vehicle. If tightening is required, tighten
by hand.
Backglass Antenna
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:Using a razor blade or sharp object
to clear the inside rear window may damage
the rear window antenna and/or the rear
window defogger. Repairs would not be
covered by your warranty. Do not clear the
inside rear window with sharp objects.
250

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 backglass antenna due to
metallic tinting materials will not be covered
by your warranty.
Because this antenna is built into the rear window,
there is a reduced risk of damage caused by
car washes and vandals.
If adding a 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
antenna are not damaged. There is enough space
between the grid lines to attach a cellular
telephone antenna without interfering with radio
reception.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.
