Tilting operation—
To tilt up: Push and hold the switch for
1 second on the “TILT UP” side.
The roof will fully tilt up automatically. To
stop the roof partway, push the switch on
either the “SLIDE OPEN” or “TILT UP”
side briefly.
To tilt down: Push and hold the switch for
1 second on the “SLIDE OPEN” side.
The roof will fully tilt down automatically.
To stop the roof partway, push the switch
on either the “SLIDE OPEN” or “TILT UP”
side briefly.
Key off operation: If both front doors are
closed, the moon roof works for about 43
seconds even after the engine switch is
turned off. It stops working when either
door is opened.
Jam protection function:
If something gets caught between the
moon roof and frame during closing opera-
tion, the moon roof stops and opens half
way.
If the moon roof receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught. If the moon roof does not operate auto-
matically or the jam protection function
does not operate correctly, you should
normalize the moon roof.
To initialize the moon roof, push and hold
the moon roof switch on the “TILT UP”
side, the moon roof will tilt all the way up
and then tilt down a little automatically.
Make sure that the moon roof opens and
closes automatically. If the moon roof can-
not be operated properly, have it checked
by your Toyota dealer.CAUTION
To avoid death or serious personal
injury, you must do the following.
While the vehicle is moving, always
keep the heads, hands and other
parts of the bodies of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Other-
wise, they could be killed or seri-
ously injured if the vehicle stops
suddenly or if the vehicle is in-
volved in an accident.
Before you close the moon roof,
always make sure there is nobody
around the moon roof. You must
also make sure nobody places his
or her head, hands and other parts
of the body in the roof opening. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in the closing roof, it could
result in death or serious injury.
When anyone closes the moon roof,
first make sure it is safe to do so.

Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could
use the moon roof switch and get
trapped in the roof opening. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.
Never sit on top of the vehicle
around the roof opening.
Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally, as it could re-
sult in a death or serious injury.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the moon roof is fully
closed.
CAUTION
When raising or lowering the con-
vertible top, keep hands clear from
the hinges of the top side rails and
any part of the top linkage.
Do not stop operating the switch in
the middle of operation unless
otherwise required. The roof will be
gradually lowered, resulting in per-
sonal injury and damage to the con-
vertible top mechanism.
Do not open or close the convert-
ible top when the wind is strong.
The vehicle should never be driven
with the convertible top partially
lowered. Make sure the top has
been either fully latched to the
windshield frame or fully lowered
before driving.
While the vehicle is moving with
the convertible top opened, nobody
should stand up on the seat, sit on
the rear seat seatback or lean over
it. Otherwise, they could be killed
or seriously injured if the vehicle
stops suddenly or if the vehicle is
involved in an accident.
Before you raise the convertible
top, always make sure there is no-
body near the top. You must also
make sure nobody places his or her
head, hands and other parts of the
body on the convertible top. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in the closing top, it could
result in death or serious injury.
When anyone raises the convertible
top, first make sure it is safe to do
so.
Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could
use the convertible top control
switch and get trapped in the con-
vertible top opening. Unattended
person (particularly a small child)
can be involved in a serious acci-
dent.
