WARNING  
When closing the panoramic roof shade  
Observe the following precautions.  
Failing to do so may result in death or serious injury.  
Check to make sure that all passengers do not have any part of their bod-  
ies in a position where they could be caught when the panoramic roof  
shade is being operated.  
Do not allow children to operate the panoramic roof shade.  
Closing the panoramic roof shade on someone can cause death or serious  
injury.  
Jam protection function  
Never try jamming any part of your body to activate the jam protection  
function intentionally.  
The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just  
before the panoramic roof shade fully closes.  
To prevent burns or injury  
Observe the following precautions.  
Although the jam protection function has been installed, make sure that  
passenger’s hands and faces are not caught in the panoramic roof shade  
while it is closing. Also, as there is a chance that the jam protection func-  
tion will not react just before closing, make sure not to catch fingers etc. in  
the roof.  
The opening or closing of the panoramic roof shade can be stopped by  
pressing the switch.  
If the panoramic roof shade will not close (for example, due to a malfunc-  
tion in the jam protection function), the shade can be closed by pressing  
and holding the switch.  
The jam protection function may operate if a load or impact, similar to that  
applied when a foreign object is caught in the roof shade, is applied by  
environmental or driving conditions.  
The underside of the roof will become hot if the vehicle is left in the direct  
sunlight for a long period of time. Do not touch the parts inside the gap  
between the roof underside and the roof shade, as you may burn yourself.  
Do not touch any rough or sheared parts of the roof underside, as you may  
injure yourself.
