Electric moon roof  
To operate the moon roof, use the  
switch beside the front personal lights.  
CAUTION  
The moon roof works when the ignition  
switch is in the “ON” position. However,  
if both front doors are closed, it works for  
about 43 seconds even after the ignition  
switch is turned off. It stops working when  
either of the front doors is opened.  
D Make sure the cap is tightened se-  
curely to prevent fuel spillage in  
case of an accident.  
D Use only a genuine Toyota fuel tank  
cap for replacement. It is designed  
to regulate fuel tank pressure.

To open: Push the switch on the “SLIDE  
OPEN” side.  
The roof will open and stop partway 10  
mm (0.4 in.) from the fully opened posi-  
tion. When you push “SLIDE OPEN” side  
again, the moon roof will open fully. To  
stop the roof partway, push the switch on  
either the “SLIDE OPEN” or “TILT UP”  
side briefly while the roof is moving.  
As driving with the moon roof opened fully  
will cause wind throbs, we recommend  
you to drive with the moon roof partway  
10 mm (0.4 in.) from the fully opened  
position.  
The sun shade will be opened together  
with the roof.

body to make the jam protection  
function work intentionally.  
D While the vehicle is moving, always  
keep the heads, hands and other  
parts of the bodies of all occupants  
away from the roof opening. Other-  
wise, they could be seriously in-  
jured if the vehicle stops suddenly
