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 involved in an accident.
To avoid serious personal injury
caused by accidental, child’s mis-
chief, or improper operation, the
driver is responsible for obeying
the following instructions without
exception.
.Before closing the moonroof,
make sure that no one’s hands,
arms, head or other objects will
be accidentally caught in the
moonroof.
.Always carry the key when you
leave the vehicle for safety rea-
sons and never allow an unat-
tended child to remain in the
vehicle. Failure to follow this
procedure could result in injury
to a child operating the moon-
roof.
.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.
.If the moonroof does not close,
we recommend that you have the
