Jam protection function  
If an object is detected between the moon roof and the frame while 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.  
Sunshade  
The sunshade can be opened and closed manually. However, the sunshade  
will open automatically when the moon roof is opened.  
Solar Panel  
The solar panel contains solar cells, and produces energy to operate the  
Solar Ventilation System by receiving sunlight.  
Moon roof open warning buzzer  
The buzzer sounds when the “POWER” switch is turned off and the driver’s  
door is opened with the moon roof open.  
If the moon roof cannot be closed  
If the moon roof cannot be closed, such as when the jam protection function  
activates accidentally due to a malfunction, pressing and holding “CLOSE”  
switch closes the moon roof.  
After this, to make the automatic opening function and jam protection func-  
tion available again, press and hold the “OPEN” switch until the moon roof  
opens fully and then closes slightly.  
If the functions do not activate, contact your Toyota dealer.
