POWER SUNROOF
• The power sunroof roof switch is located in the overhead console.
To Open
• Press and hold the power sunroof switch rearward for approximately two secondsand the sunroof will stop at the vented position. Press the switch a second time and
hold for approximately one second and release, the sunroof will open fully, then stop
automatically. This is called “Express Open”. During Express Open operation, any
movement of the sunroof switch will stop the sunroof.
To Close
• With the sunroof in the full open position, pull the power sunroof button and hold itfor approximately one second, the sunroof will return to the vented position. Pull the
switch a second time and hold for approximately two seconds to completely close
the sunroof.
Pinch Protect Feature
• This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during ExpressClose operation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof
will automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if this occurs. Next, press the
switch forward and release to Express Close.
NOTE: If three consecutive sunroof close attempts result in Pinch Protect reversals, the
fourth close attempt will be a Manual Close movement with Pinch Protect disabled.
Sun Shade
• For vehicles equipped with a power sunroof, there is a sun shade that can be open or closed. To open the sun shade press the tab and move the shade to a full open
position.
WARNING!
• Never leave children in a vehicle with the key in the ignition switch. Occupants,particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by the power sunroof
while operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrapment may result in
serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof. You could also be seriously injured or killed. Always fasten your seat
belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury
may result.

WIND BUFFETING
