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.

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

the sunroof may not open or close properly.
Always close the glass panel before closing the
sunshade.

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.

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.

position to completely open the panoramic sunroof.

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.

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.
