If an object or part of the body is
detected while the sunroof glass or
sunshade is closing automatically, it
will reverse the direction, and then
stop.
The auto reverse function does not
work if a tiny obstacle is between the
sliding glass or sunshade and the
sunroof sash. You should always
check that all passengers and
objects are away from the sunroof
before closing it.
•Periodically remove any dirt that
may accumulate on the sunroof
guide rail or between the sun-

freezing or when the sunroof is
covered with snow or ice, the
motor could be damaged. In

rainstorm, be sure to wipe off any
water that is on the sunroof before
operating it.

the sunroof to avoid injuries or
vehicle damage.
•To a vo i d s e r i o u s i n j u r y o r

have your seat belt on, you
may stick out of the broken
glass and get injured or killed.

Trunk lid control switch
(if equipped)
The trunk lid control switch is used to
prevent unauthorized access to the
trunk.
• When the trunk lid control switch is
in the UNLOCK position ( ), the
trunk can be unlocked with the
trunk release button and the
remote key or smart key.
• When the trunk lid control switch is
in the LOCK position ( ), the

of the Emergency Trunk
Safety Release lever in this
vehicle and how to open the
trunk in case you are acciden-
tally locked in the trunk.
•NEVER allow anyone to occu-
py the trunk of the vehicle at
any time. If the trunk is par-
tially or totally latched and the
person is unable to get out,
serious injury or death could
occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid
heat build-up, or because of
exposure to cold weather con-
ditions. The trunk is also a
highly dangerous location in
the event of a crash because it
is not a protected occupant
space but is a part of the vehi-
cle’s crush zone.

these guidelines may result in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
•Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station.
•Before refueling, note the
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,
at the gas station.
•Before touching the fuel noz-

while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.
•Do not get back into a vehicle

ing. You can generate a build-
up of static electricity by touch-
ing, rubbing or sliding against
any item or fabric capable of
producing static electricity.
Static electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors causing a
fire. If you must re-enter the
