1-4. Opening and closing the windows and moon roof

■ The moon roof can be operated when

The “ENGINE START STOP” switch or the engine switch is in ON.

■ Operating the moon roof after turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch or the engine switch OFF

The moon roof can be operated for approximately 45 seconds even after the

“ENGINE START STOP” switch or the engine switch is turned to ACC or turned OFF. It cannot, however, be operated once either front door is opened.

■ Jam protection function

If an object is detected between the moon roof and the frame while closing or tilting down, travel is stopped and the moon roof opens slightly.

■ If the moon roof cannot be closed

If the moon roof cannot be closed automatically, such as when the jam protection function activates accidentally due to a malfunction, pressing and holding the switch close the moon roof.

■ To reduce wind noise

Drive with the moon roof opened to slightly before the fully open position as driving with the moon roof opened fully will cause wind noise.

■ Sunshade

The sunshade can be opened and closed manually. However, the sunshade will open automatically when the moon roof is opened.

■ Moon roof open reminder function (vehicles with multi-information display)

An alarm will sound when the driver’s door is opened with the moon roof not fully closed and the “ENGINE START STOP” switch or the engine switch

OFF.
