If the sunroof senses any obstacle
while it is closing automatically, it will
reverse direction then stop to allow
the object to be cleared.

the sliding glass and the sunroof
sash.
You should always check that all pas-
sengers and objects are away from

Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check in
and around the motor compart-
ment to ensure the following:
- Any tools or other loose objects
are removed from the motor
room area or hood opening area
- All glove, rags, or other com-
bustible material is removed
from the engine compartment
- All filler caps are tightly and cor-
rectly installed
2. Lower the hood halfway (lifted
approximately 12 inches (30 cm)
from the closed position) and push
down to securely lock in place.
Then double check to be sure the
hood is secure. If the hood can be
raised slightly, it is not securely
locked. Open it again and close it
with more force.
Before closing the hood,
ensure all obstructions are
removed from around the
hood opening.
Always double check to be
sure that the hood is firmly
latched before driving away.
Check there is no hood open
warning light or message dis-
played on the instrument clus-
ter. Driving with the hood
opened may cause a total loss
of visibility, which might
result in an accident.
Do not move the vehicle with
the hood in the raised posi-
tion, as vision is obstructed,
which might result in an acci-
dent, and the hood could fall
or be damaged.
WARNING
Grasp the support rod in the
area wrapped in rubber.
The support rod must be
inserted completely into the
hole provided whenever you
inspect the motor compart-
ment. This will prevent the
hood from falling and possi-
bly injuring you.
