operated in express-close mode.
If an object is in the path while
express-closing, the reversal system
will detect an object, stop, and open
the sunroof or power sunshade again.
If frost or other conditions prevent
closing, override the feature by closing
the sunroof or power sunshade in
manual mode. To stop movement,
release the switch.Dirt and debris may collect on the
sunroof seal or in the track. This
could cause an issue with sunroof
operation or noise. It could also plug
the water drainage system.
Periodically open the sunroof and
remove any obstacles or loose debris.
Wipe the sunroof seal and roof sealing
area using a clean cloth, mild soap,
and water. Do not remove grease from
the sunroof.
If water is seen dripping into the
water drainage system, this is normal.
