3-5. Opening, closing the windows and moon roof  
The moon roof can be operated when  
The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.  
Operating the moon roof after turning the engine off  
The moon roof can be operated for approximately 45 seconds after the  
engine switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off. It cannot, how-  
ever, be operated once either front door is opened.  
Jam protection function  
If an object is detected between the moon roof and the frame while the moon  
roof is closing or tilting down, travel is stopped and the moon roof opens  
slightly.  
To reduce moon roof wind noise  
When the moon roof is opened automatically, it will stop slightly before the  
fully open position. Driving with the moon roof in this position can help reduce  
wind noise.

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