●Check to make sure that all passengers do not have any part of their body
in a position where it could be caught when a window is being operated.

The moon roof can be operated for approximately 45 seconds even after the

turned OFF. It cannot, however, be operated once either front door is
opened.
■ Jam protection function
If an object is detected between the moon roof and the frame while closing
or tilting down, travel is stopped and the moon roof opens slightly.

Drive with the moon roof opened to slightly before the fully open position as
driving with the moon roof opened fully will cause wind noise.

The sunshade can be opened and closed manually. However, the sunshade
will open automatically when the moon roof is opened.

play)
