!Anti-entrapment function
When the moonroof senses a substantial
enough object trapped between its glass
and the vehicle’s roof during closure, it
automatically moves back to the fully open
position and stops there. The anti-entrap-
ment function may also be activated by a
strong shock on the moonroof even when
there is nothing trapped.
CAUTION
Never attempt to test this function
using fingers, hands or other parts
of your body.NOTEFor the sake of safety, it is recom-
mended that you avoid driving with the
moonroof fully opened.
&Sun shadeYou can slide the sun shade forward or
backward by hand while the moonroof is
closed.
If the moonroof is opened, the sun shade
also moves back.

WARNING
.Before leaving the vehicle, ob-
serve the following instructions
for safety.
–Remove the key from the igni-
tion switch (models with con-
ventional type ignition
switch).
–Carry out the access key fob
(models with push-button

Failure to observe these instruc-
tions could result in injury to a
child or others. Children could
operate the power windows, the
moonroof or other controls, or
even make the vehicle move.
.Never turn the ignition switch to
the“LOCK”/“OFF”position while
driving or being towed. Doing so
will lock the steering wheel, pre-
venting steering control. In addi-
tion, when the engine stops, it
takes a much greater effort thanusual to steer.
CAUTION

from discharging, keep the igni-
tion switch in the“LOCK”/“OFF”
position when the engine is not
running.
.Do not use electrical accessories
for a long time with the ignition
switch in the“ON”or“ACC”
