ated once either front door is opened.

or tilting down, travel is stopped and the moon roof opens slightly.

If the moon roof cannot be closed automatically, such as when the jam pro-
tection function activates accidentally due to a malfunction, pressing and
holding the switch closes the moon roof.

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.

will open automatically when the moon roof is opened.
