Keys and doors 2-23 The moonroof operates only when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. & Anti-entrapment function When the moonroof senses an object trapped between its glass and the vehicle's roof during closure, it automatically moves back by 6 in (15 cm) from that point and then stops. The anti-entrapment function may also be activated by a strong shock on the moonroof even when there is nothing trapped. & Sun shade & To open the moonroof Pull the switch to the "OPEN" side and quickly release it to open the moonroof. The sun shade will also be opened together with the moonroof. The moonroof will stop at a position 20 in (50 cm) away from the fully closed position. Pull the switch again to open the moonroof completely. To stop the moonroof at a desired position, momentarily push the switch to the "CLOSE" or "OPEN" side. After washing the vehicle or after it rains, wipe away water on the roof prior to opening the moonroof to prevent drops of water from falling into the passenger compartment. NOTE . For the sake of safety, it is recommended that you avoid driving with the moonroof fully opened. . Driving with the moonroof fully open can cause an annoying sound to generate at high speeds. If such a condition has been encountered, use the moonroof at the initial stop position of 20 in (50 cm). . 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". The sun shade can be slid forward or backward by hand while the moonroof is closed. If the moonroof is opened, the sun shade also moves back. & To close the moonroof Push the switch to the "CLOSE" side then quickly release it to close the moonroof. The moonroof will stop at a position 8 in (20 cm) away from the fully closed position. Push the switch again to close the moonroof completely. To stop the moonroof at a desired position, momentarily push the switch to the "CLOSE" or "OPEN" side.
