WARNING

. Never let anyone’s hands, arms,

head or any objects protrude

from the moonroof. A person

could be seriously injured if the

vehicle stops suddenly or turns

sharply or if the vehicle is in-

volved in an accident.

To avoid serious personal injury

caused by entrapment, you must

do the following.

. Before closing the moonroof,

make sure that no one’s hands,

arms, head or other objects will

be accidentally caught in the

moonroof.

. Before leaving the vehicle, al-

ways remove the key from the

ignition switch for safety and

never allow an unattended child

to remain in the vehicle. Failure

to follow this procedure could

result in injury to a child operat-

ing the moonroof.

. Never try to check the anti-en-

trapment function by deliberately

placing part of your body in the

moonroof.

CAUTION

. Do not sit on the edge of the open

moonroof.

. Do not operate the moonroof if

falling snow or extremely cold

conditions have caused it to

freeze shut.

. The anti-entrapment function

does not operate when the moon-

roof is being tilted down. Be sure

to confirm that it is safe to do so

before tilting the moonroof down.

The moonroof has both tilting and sliding

functions.

The moonroofs operate only when the

ignition switch is in the “ON” position.

After washing the vehicle or after it rains,

wipe away water on the roof prior to

opening the moonroof to prevent drops

of water from falling into the passenger

! Anti-entrapment function

When the moonroof senses an object

trapped between its glass and the vehi-

cle’s roof during closure, it automatically

moves back to either of the following

positions according to the point at which

it senses the object:

. When the moonroof senses the object

at a point between the halfway stop

position and fully closed position, it moves

back to the halfway stop position and

stops there.

. When the moonroof senses the object

at a point between the halfway stop

position and fully open position, it moves

back to the fully open position and stops

there.

The anti-entrapment function may also be

activated by a strong shock on the moon-

roof even when there is nothing trapped.
