Keys and doors Push the "Open/Close" switch rearward to open the moonroof. The sun shade will be also opened together with the moonroof. Push the "Open/Close" switch forward to close the moonroof. The moonroof will stop halfway if you continue to press on the switch. Release the switch once and push it again to close the moonroof completely. After washing the vehicle or after it rains, wipe away water on the roof prior to opening the moonroof to prevent water drops from falling into the passenger compartment. To avoid serious personal injury caused by entrapment, you must do the followings: " Before closing the moonroof, make sure that no one's hands, arms, head or other objects will be accidentally caught in the moonroof. " Before leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the ignition switch for safety and never allow an unattended child to remain in the vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure could result in injury to a child operating the moonroof. NOTE If the moonroof cannot be closed through switch operation because of system failure, it can be closed manually using a hex-head wrench. For the procedure, refer to "Moonroof - if the moonroof cannot be closed" in Chapter 9 "In case of emergency". " Do not sit on the edge of the open moonroof. " Do not operate the moonroof if falling snow or extremely cold conditions have caused it to freeze shut. " Never let anyone's hands, arms, head or any objects protrude from the moonroof. A person could be seriously injured if the vehicle stops suddenly or turns sharply or if the vehicle is involved in an accident. 2-32
