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

not place heavy luggage on the panor-
amic glass roof. Doing so could damage
the glass roof.

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-

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.

ning.
