& Anti-entrapment function  
& Sunshade  
When the moonroof senses a substantial  
enough object trapped between its glass  
and the vehicle’s roof during closure, it  
automatically moves back to the fully open  
position and stops there. The anti-entrap-  
ment function may also be activated by a  
strong shock on the moonroof even when  
there is nothing trapped.  
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  
.
Driving with the moonroof fully open  
can cause an annoying sound to be  
generated at high speeds. If this  
occurs, use the moonroof at the  
initial stop position of 6 in (15 cm)  
away from the fully opened position.  
The moonroof cannot be operated  
while the remote engine starter sys-  
tem is operating.  
CAUTION  
Never attempt to test this function  
using fingers, hands or other parts  
of your body.

The sunshade can be slid forward or  
backward by hand while the moonroof is  
closed.  
NOTE  
If the moonroof is opened, the sunshade  
also moves back.  
For the sake of safety, it is recom-  
mended that you avoid driving with the  
moonroof fully opened.
