■Reverse operation feature
This function will become operational when the rear sunshade is in the raised posi-
tion and the vehicle has been driven at 9 mph (15 km/h) or more or with the shift
lever in P.

lever is shifted to “R” and the function is in an operational condition.
However, the rear sunshade is raised again if any of the following occurs:
●Shift the shift lever into “P”.
●The shift lever is shifted out of “R”, and the vehicle reaches a speed of 9 mph
(15 km/h).
●The switch is pressed again.*

If the engine is turned off when the rear sunshade has been lowered due to the
reverse operation feature, it will not be raised even when the engine is turned on
again and the vehicle reaches a speed of 9 mph (15 km/h). To raise the sunshade
again, press the switch.
