Jam protection function
● If an object is detected between a panoramic roof shade and the frame
while closing, travel is stopped and the panoramic roof shades open
slightly.
● When the jam protection function has operated, even if the “CLOSE” side
of the switch is pressed again, the shade will not move in the close direc-
tion until the reverse operation has stopped completely.
● Depending on the driving conditions and the surroundings, the pan-
oramic roof shades may collide with something and operate in reverse.
■ Door lock linked automatic close function
When the “POWER” switch is off, the panoramic roof shades will close auto-
matically if the vehicle is locked from the outside or from the inside using the
wireless remote control.

Perform the following operations.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
With the panoramic roof shades stopped, push and hold the
“CLOSE” side of the switch for 10 seconds or more (until the pan-
oramic roof shades have closed completely).
If the panoramic roof shades continue to close but then re-open slightly even
after performing the above procedure correctly, have the vehicle inspected
