Safety mechanism If a hand or head is trapped in the closing sunroof opening, the
safety mechanism will cause the sunroof to re-open automati-
cally. The opened sunroof will become operational again after
a few seconds.

tively, normal closing of the sunroof will be aborted.

increments until it is completely closed by repeatedly pressing
the switch (2).
After performing the emergency measure, consult an autho-
rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer.NOTE

ditions or other circumstances cause the sunroof to be sub-
jected to a physical shock similar to that caused by a
trapped hand or head.
SunshadeThe sunshade can be opened or closed manually while the
sunroof is closed.
When the sunroof is opened, the sunshade will also open auto-
matically.

sunroof closes. This allows the sunroof to close com-
pletely. Therefore be especially careful that fingers
are not trapped in the sunroof opening.
