small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a death or
serious accident.

door opener and raise the door.
The back door can be opened when the
vehicle is stopped.
The back door is locked and unlocked
simultaneously with side doors (see
“—Locking and unlocking doors and back
door” on page 13 and “Side doors” on
page 16).When the side doors and back door are
unlocked simultaneously with a key, the
interior lights and ignition switch light will
come on and remain on for about 15 sec-
onds before fading out. (For details, see
“Interior lights” on page 94 and “Ignition
switch light” on page 95.)
If the back door opener does not operate,
see “If you cannot operate back door
opener” on page 210.
If the battery is disconnected or run
down,
the back door will be automatically
locked and the back door system may not
work after you reconnect, replace or re-
charge the battery. In any of these cases,
normalize the back door system by follow-
ing procedure.
1. Unlock the back door with the remote control key or power door lock switch.
2. Close the back door completely by hand.
If the back door system does not operate
properly after the above procedure, there

: Push the “OPEN” side briefly
: Hold down the “CLOSE” side To operate the moon roof, use the
switch beside the interior light.
The moon roof works when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
1. Push the switch briefly on the “OPEN” side. (Position 1)
The front and center roof panels will tilt
up slightly. This position is appropriate to
ventilate interior air. To stop partway, push
the switch on either the “OPEN” or
“CLOSE” side briefly.
To lower: Hold down the switch on the
“CLOSE” side. To stop partway, release
the switch.
If you hold down the switch on the
“OPEN” side for more than 2 seconds, the
front and center roof panels will tilt up
slightly. Then the front roof panel will tilt
up fully and the center roof panel will
slide and stop 50 mm (2.0 in.) from the
fully opened position.
The front and rear sunshades can be
opened or closed by hand.
To open the front sunshade, pull it toward
the back. To open the rear sunshade, pull
it toward the front. To close them, pull
them back in the opposite direction.

2. Push the switch briefly on the“OPEN” side again. (Position 2)
The front roof panel will fully tilt up and
the center roof panel will slide and stop
50 mm (2.0 in.) from the fully opened
position.
To stop partway, push the switch on either
the “OPEN” or “CLOSE” side briefly.
The front sunshade will be opened togeth-
er with the roof panels.
To close: Hold down the switch on the
“CLOSE” side. The center roof panel will
slide and stop right before the fully closed
position. When you hold down the switch
once again, the front and center roof pan-
els will lower completely. To stop partway,
release the switch.
The front sunshade will not close together
with the roof panels. Close the sunshade
by hand. 3. Push the switch briefly on the
“OPEN” side one more time. (Posi-
tion 3)
The center roof panel will slide fully.
As driving with the moon roof opened fully
will cause wind throbs, we recommend
you to drive with the moon roof 50 mm
(2.0 in.) from the fully opened position.
To stop partway, push the switch on either
the “OPEN” or “CLOSE” side briefly.
The front sunshade will be opened togeth-
er with the roof panels.
To close: Hold down the switch on the
“CLOSE” side. The center roof panel will
slide and stop right before the fully closed
position. When you hold down the switch
once again, the front and center roof pan-
els will lower completely. To stop partway,
release the switch.
The front sunshade will not close together
with the roof panels. Close the sunshade
by hand. Key off operation:
If both side doors are
closed, the moon roof works for 43 sec-
onds even after the ignition switch is
turned off. It stops working when either
side door is opened.
Jam protection function: If something
gets caught between the moon roof and
frame during closing operation, the moon
roof stops and opens to a full open posi-
tion or the position opened about 200 mm
(7.9 in.).
If the moon roof receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught.

28
If the battery is disconnected or run
down, the moon roof may not operate au-
tomatically and the jam protection function
will not function correctly after you recon-
nect, replace or recharge the battery. In
any of these cases, you should normalize
the moon roof.
To normalize the moon roof, hold the
switch on the “CLOSE” side for more than
2 seconds with the moon roof fully closed.
Make sure that the moon roof opens auto-
matically. If the moon roof cannot be oper-
ated properly, have it checked by your
Scion dealer.
There are cases where malfunctions may
activate the jam protection function, which
will prevent the roof from closing com-
pletely. In this case, pushing and holding
the switch on the “CLOSE” side will close
the roof completely.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 switches and get
trapped in the roof opening. Unat-
tended persons (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.
NOTICE
There is the possibility that water or
rain will get into the vehicle if you
operate the moon roof after a rainfall,
snowfall or car wash. Wipe the moon
roof dry with a cloth before operating
it.
