l
If the safety mechanism is activated three or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the door window will
not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion. If the window is open, repeatedly raise
the driver’s door window switch until the win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this, re-
lease the switch, raise the switch once again
and hold it in this condition for at least 1 sec-
ond, then release it. You should now be able
to operate the driver’s door window in the nor-
mal fashion. Sunshade*
E00302800279 WARNING
l Never
leave a child (or other person who
might not be capable of safe operation of
the sunshade switch) in the vehicle alone.
l Before operating the sunshade, make
sure that nothing can be trapped (head,
hand, finger, etc.).
l Do not bring your head, hand, finger, etc.
near the opening edge of the sunshade re-
ceptacle while the vehicle is in motion.
It may cause injury to your head, hand,
finger, etc. in the event of sudden braking. CAUTION
l
Do
not place heavy luggage on the panor-
amic glass roof. Doing so could damage
the glass roof.
l Do not hang heavy luggage from, allow a
person to hang onto, or apply any other
strong force to the opening of the sun-
shade receptacle or the parts between the
ceiling and the sunshade opening on ei-
ther side. Doing so could damage the sun-
shade.
NOTE l Release

the switch as soon as the sunshade
reaches the fully open or fully closed position. l
If
the sunshade does not operate when the sun-
shade switch is operated, release the switch
and check whether something is trapped by
the sunshade. If nothing is trapped, we recom-
mend you to have the sunshade checked.
l Operating the sunshade repeatedly with the
engine stationary will run down the battery.
Operate the sunshade while the engine is run-
ning.
l Close the sunshade when parking the vehicle
for a long time. Parking in the hot sun with
the sunshade open will make the vehicle in-
side extremely hot.
The sunshade can only be operated with the igni-
tion switch or the operation mode in ON. 1- Open

Safety mechanism
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing sun-
shade, it will reopen automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody brings their
head or hand near the sunshade when opening or
closing.
The opened sunshade will become operational after
a few seconds. CAUTION
l
The
safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the sunshade is fully closed. This al-
lows the sunshade to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the sunshade.
NOTE l The

safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the sunshade to be subjected to a phys-
ical shock similar to that caused by a trapped
hand or head. Locking and unlocking

or the operation mode is put in ON while a seat
belt is not fastened, the warning lamp illuminates
and the tone sounds for about 6 seconds to remind
the driver to fasten the seat belt.
