'02 AVALON U (L/O 0107) To operate the moon roof, use the switch beside the interior light. The moon roof works when the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. However, if all the front doors are closed, it works for about 43 seconds even after the ignition switch is turned off. It stops working when either of the front doors is opened. Sun shade operation- The sun shade can be opened or closed by hand. Sliding operation- To open: Push the switch on the "SLIDE OPEN" side. The roof will open and stop partway 10 mm (0.4 in.) from the fully opened position. When you push "SLIDE OPEN" side again, the moon roof will open fully. To stop the roof partway, push the same side or "TILT UP" side while the roof is moving. As driving with the moon roof opened fully will cause wind throbs, we recommend you to drive with the moon roof partway 10 mm (0.4 in.) from the fully opened position. The sun shade will be opened together with the roof. To close: Push the switch on the "TILT UP" side. The roof will fully close. To stop the roof partway, push the switch on either the "SLIDE OPEN" or "TILT UP" side briefly. Tilting operation- To tilt up: Push the switch on the "TILT UP" side. To lower: Push the switch on the "SLIDE OPEN" side. You may stop the moon roof at any desired position. The roof will move while the switch is being pushed and stop when released. Jam protection function (closing operation only): During closing operation, the moon roof stops and opens half way if something gets caught between the moon roof and frame. If the moon roof receives a strong impact, this function may work even if nothing is caught. CAUTION To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the following. D While the vehicle is moving, always keep the heads, hands and other parts of the bodies of all occupants away from the roof opening. Otherwise, they could be seriously injured if the vehicle stops suddenly or if the vehicle is involved in an accident. D Always make sure nobody places his/her head, hands and other parts of the body in the roof opening before you close the roof. If someone's neck, head or hands gets caught in the closing roof, it could result in a serious injury. When anyone closes the roof, first make sure it is safe to do so. D Never leave small children alone in the vehicle, especially with the ignition key still inserted. They could use the moon roof switches and get trapped in the roof opening. Unattended children can be involved in serious accidents. 36 2002 MY AVALON_U (OM22493U)
