position.
The sun shade can be opened or closed manually. However,
if you open the moon roof, the sun shade will be opened with
the moon roof.To close the moon roof, push the switch on the front side.

Jam protection function
During closing operation, the moon roof stops and is open if
something gets caught into the roof opening.
If the moon roof receives a strong impact, this function may
work even if nothing is caught.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the
following.
While the vehicle is moving, always keep the heads,
hands and other parts of the bodies of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Otherwise, they could be
seriously injured if the vehicle stops suddenly or if
the vehicle is involved in an accident.
 Before you close the moon roof, always make sure
there is nobody around the moon roof. You must also
make sure nobody places his or her head, hands and
other parts of the body in the roof opening. If
someone's neck, head or hands get caught in the
closing roof, it could result in a serious injury. When
anyone closes the moon roof, first make sure it is safe
to do so.
 Be sure to remove the ignition key or turn the ignition
switch to the ªLOCKº position when you leave your
vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a small child) alone
in your vehicle, especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could use the moon roof
switches and get trapped in the roof opening.
Unattended person (p articularly a small child) can be
involved in a serious accident.
 Never sit on top of the vehicle around the roof
opening.
 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 moon roof
fully closed.

SV16170
1. Adjust the driver's seat to the desired position.
2. While pushing the ªSETº button, push button ª1º or ª2º
until the signal beeps.
