PANORAMA SUNROOF (IF EQUIPPED)
OJF045024
If your vehicle is equipped with a sun‐
roof, you can slide or tilt your sunroof
with the sunroof control lever located
on the overhead console.
The sunroof can be operated for ap‐
proximately 30 seconds after the igni‐
tion key is removed or turned to the
ACC or LOCK position. However, if the
front doors are opened, the sunroof
cannot be opened even within the 30
seconds period.
• In cold and wet climates, the sunroof
may not work properly due to freez‐
ing conditions.
• After the vehicle is washed or in a
rainstorm, be sure to wipe off any
water that is on the sunroof before
operating it.
CAUTION
n Sunroof control lever
Do not continue to move the sunroof
control lever after the sunroof is
fully opened, closed, or tilted. Dam‐
age to the motor or system compo‐
nents could occur.
CAUTION
Make sure the sunroof is fully closed
when leaving your vehicle. If the
sunroof is opened, rain or snow may
leak through the sunroof and wet
the interior as well as cause theft.
WARNING
n Sunroof break
The sunroof, which is made of glass,
may break if the sufficient impact is
applied. In this case, in an accident,
any improperly belted occupant may
be tossed out of the vehicle through
