to remain in the vehicle. Failure
to follow this procedure could
result in injury to a child operat-
ing the moonroof. .

trapment function by deliberately
placing part of your body in the
moonroof.

. Do not sit on the edge of the open
moonroof.
. Do not operate the moonroof if
falling snow or extremely cold
conditions have caused it to
freeze shut.
