Sunroof
If your vehicle is equipped with a sunroof, you can slide or tilt your sunroof with the sunroof control lever located on the overhead console.
The sunroof can only be opened, closed, or tilted when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The sunroof can be operated for approximately 30 seconds after the ignition key is removed or turned to the ACC or LOCK (or OFF) position.
However, if the front door is opened, the sunroof cannot be operated even within the 30 second period.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the sunroof, periodically remove any dirt that may accumulate on the guide rail.
In cold and wet climates, the sunroof may not work properly due to freezing 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.
The sunroof cannot slide when it is in the tilt position nor can it be tilted while in an open or slide position.
CAUTION - Sunroof control lever
Do not continue to press the sunroof control lever after the sunroof is fully opened, closed, or tilted. Damage to the motor or system components could occur.
WARNING - Sunroof operation
When closing the sunroof, make sure there are no body parts in the movement range of the sliding roof. Parts of the body could become trapped or crushed.
WARNING
Never adjust the sunroof or sunshade while driving. This could result in loss of control and an accident that may cause death, serious injury, or property damage.
WARNING
In order to prevent accidental operation of the sunroof do not let a child operate the sunroof.
WARNING
Do not sit on the top of the vehicle as this may cause vehicle damage.
CAUTION
Do not extend any luggage outside the sunroof while driving.
Sunroof open warning
If the driver removes the ignition key (smart key: turns off the engine) and opens the driver-side door when the sunroof is not fully closed, the warning chime will sound for a few seconds and a warning image will appear on the LCD display.
Close the sunroof securely when leaving your vehicle.
CAUTION
Make sure the sunroof is fully closed when leaving your vehicle. If the sunroof is open, rain or snow may leak through the sunroof and wet the interior as well as allow theft to occur.
Sliding the sunroof
To open the sunroof automatically:
Pull the sunroof control lever backward to the second detent position and then release it. The sunroof will slide all the way open.
The sunroof will slide to the recommended open position (about 5 cm (2 in.)) before the maximum slide open position).
To stop the sunroof sliding at any point, pull or push the sunroof control lever briefly.
To open the sunroof to the maximum slide open position, press the switch towards the rear of the vehicle once again and hold it until the sunroof slides all the way open.
To reduce wind noise while driving, we recommend you drive at the recommended position (about 5 cm (2 in.)) before the maximum slide open position).
To close the sunroof automatically:
Push the sunroof control lever forward to the second detent position and then release it. The sunroof will automatically close all the way.
To stop the sunroof sliding at any point, pull or push the sunroof control lever briefly.
While driving with the sunroof in an open (or partially open position), your vehicle may demonstrate a wind buffeting or pulsation noise. This noise is a normal occurrence and can be reduced or eliminated by taking the following actions. If you experience the noise with the sunroof open, slightly reduce the size of the sunroof opening.
Automatic reversal
If an object or part of the body is detected while the sunroof glass or sunshade is closing automatically, it will reverse the direction, and then stop.
The auto reverse function does not work if a tiny obstacle is between the sliding glass or sunshade and the sunroof frame. You should always check that all passengers and objects are away from the sunroof before closing it.
WARNING
Make sure heads, other body parts or other objects are safely out of the way before closing the window to avoid injuries or vehicle damage.
Objects less than 4 mm (0.16 inch) in diameter caught between the sunroof glass and the front window channel may not be detected by the automatic reverse window and the window will not stop and reverse direction.
Tilting the sunroof
To tilt open the sunroof, push the sunroof control lever upward until the sunroof moves to the desired position.
To close the sunroof, push the sunroof lever forward until the sunroof moves to the desired position.
