Panorama Sunroof*
▼Panorama Sunroof
The panorama sunroof can be opened
or closed when operating the
overhead tilt/slide switch at the front
seats.
WARNING
Do not let passengers stand up or
extend part of the body through the
open panorama sunroof while the
vehicle is moving:
Extending the head, arms, or other
parts of the body through the
panorama sunroof is dangerous. The
head or arms could hit something
while the vehicle is moving. This could
cause serious injury or death.
Never allow children to play with the
tilt/slide switch:
The tilt/slide switch would allow
children to operate the panorama
sunroof unintentionally, which could
result in serious injury if a child's
hands, head or neck becomes caught
by the panorama sunroof.
Make sure the opening is clear before
closing the panorama sunroof:
A closing panorama sunroof is
dangerous. The hands, head, or even
neck of a person, especially a child,
could be caught in it as it closes,
causing serious injury or even death.
Make sure nothing blocks the
panorama sunroof just before it
reaches the fully closed position:
Blocking the panorama sunroof just
before it reaches the closed position is
dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function
cannot prevent the panorama sunroof
from closing. If fingers are caught,
serious injuries could occur.
CAUTION

Do not sit on or put heavy items on
the area where the panorama
sunroof opens and closes.
Otherwise, the panorama sunroof
could be damaged.
 Do not open or close the panorama
sunroof forcefully during freezing
temperatures or snowfall. Otherwise,
the panorama sunroof could be
damaged.
 The sunshade does not tilt. To avoid
damaging the sunshade, do not push
it up.
 Do not close the sunshade while the
panorama sunroof is opening. Trying
to force the sunshade closed could
damage it.
