Driver Storage Compartment The driver's storage compartment is located near the left side of the steering column on the bottom of the instrument panel. Pull the cover down to open. It can be used to store small items. The entire bin can be removed for cleaning. The sunroof only operates when the ignition is in ON/RUN, ACC/ACCESSORY, or if Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 2-24. Press and release the back of the switch to open the sunroof to the vent position. From the vent position, press and release the back of the switch to express-open the sunroof. To stop the sunroof from express opening, press the switch again. If the sunshade is closed, it will open automatically when the sunroof opens past the vented position. A deflector will automatically raise when the sunroof is opened. The deflector will retract when the sunroof is closed. To close the sunroof, press the front of the switch and hold it until the sunroof is closed. The sunroof will stop if the switch is released. Close the sunshade by hand. The sunroof glass panel cannot be opened or closed if the vehicle has an electrical failure. Notice: If you force the sunshade forward of the sliding glass panel, damage will occur and the sunroof may not open or close properly. Always close the glass panel before closing the sunshade. Convenience Net The vehicle may have a convenience net in the rear. Store small loads as far forward as possible. The net should not be used to store heavy loads. Sunroof On vehicles with a sunroof, the switch is located on the headliner between the map lamps. 2-53
