Features of your vehicle

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.

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 sun-

roof 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.

Sliding the sunroof

To open the sunroof, pull the sunroof

control lever backward.

To close the sunroof, push the sun-

roof control lever forward.
