NOTE
When leaving the vehicle unattended, be sure to close the
sunroof and if a key was used to start the engine, remove
the key from the ignition switch.

Do not try to operate the sunroof if it is frozen closed
(after snowfall or during extreme cold).

Do not sit on or place heavy luggage on the sunroof or
roof opening edge.

Do not apply any force that may cause damage to the
sunroof.

Release the switch when the sunroof has reached a com-
pletely open or completely closed position.

If the sunroof does not operate when the sunroof switch is
operated, release the switch and check whether something
is trapped by the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, have the
sunroof checked at an authorized Mitsubishi Motors
dealer.

carrier or roof carrier, the sunroof may contact the carrier
when the sunroof is tilted up.

around the sunroof opening. If it is waxed, the weather-
strip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal with the
sunroof.

any water that is on the sunroof before operating it.

Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the engine turned
off will run down the battery. Operate the sunroof only
while the engine is running.

sunroof closes. This allows the sunroof to close com-
pletely. Therefore be especially careful that fingers
are not trapped in the sunroof opening.
