Jam protection function
During closing operation, the moon roof stops and is open if
something gets caught into the roof opening.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Never sit on top of the vehicle around the roof
opening.
Never try jamming any part of your body to make the
jam protection function work intentionally.
The jam protection function may not work if
something gets caught just before the moon roof
fully closed.
