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.
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.
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.
