TABLE OF CONTENTS
1
REAR PARK ASSIST
•If an object is detected behind the rear bumper while the vehicle is in REVERSE, a chime
will sound. The chime rate will change depending on the distance of the object, getting
faster as the object gets closer to the bumper .The chime will become continuous when
the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle is less than 12 inches (30 cm).

rearward for approximately two seconds
and the sunroof will stop at the vented
position. Press the switch a second time
and hold for approximately one second
and release, the sunroof will open fully,
then stop automatically .This is called “Ex-
press Open” .During Express Open op-
eration, any movement of the sunroof
switch will stop the sunroof.

Pinch Protection Feature
•This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Express
Close operation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof
will automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if this occurs. Next, press the switch
forward and release to Express Close .
NOTE:
If three consecutive sunroof close attempts result in Pinch Protect reversals, the fourth
close attempt will be a Manual Close movement with Pinch Protect disabled.
Sun Shade
• For vehicles equipped with either a power sunroof or a fixed glass roof, there is a sun
shade that can be open or closed. To open the sun shade press the tab and move the
shade to a full open position.
WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof, or leave children unattended in the ve-
hicle, and do not leave the key in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children). Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by the
power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrapment may
result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be seriously injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening .Injury may result.
WIND BUFFETING
• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting
occurs with the windows down, or top down (convertible models), adjust one or both
windows up or down slightly .
