operated, release the switch and check whether something
is trapped by the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, we recom-
mend you to have the sunroof checked.

the sunroof may contact with the carrier when the sunroof
is tilted up. Be careful when tilting up the sunroof if such
a ski carrier or a roof carrier is installed.
●Be sure to close the sunroof completely when washing the
vehicle or when leaving the vehicle.
●Be careful, not to put any wax on the weatherstrip (black
rubber) around the sunroof opening. If stained with wax,
the weatherstrip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal with
the sunroof.
●After washing the vehicle or after it has rained, wipe off
any water that is on the sunroof before operating it.
●Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the engine station-
ary will run down the battery. Operate the sunroof while
the engine is running.

sunroof opening while driving the vehicle.●Never leave a child (or other person who might not
be capable of safe operation of the sunroof switch) in
the vehicle alone.●Before operating the sunroof, make sure that noth-
ing is capable of being trapped (head, hand, finger,
