Jam protection function

If something gets caught between the moon roof and frame
during slide closing operation, the moon roof stops and
opens half way, and the deflector stops and raises fully.
 If something gets caught between the moon roof and frame
during tilting down operation, the moon roof stops and
opens fully.
If the moon roof receives a strong impact, this function may
work even if nothing is caught.
If the battery is disconnected or run down
The moon roof may not operate automatically and the jam
protection function will not function correctly after you
reconnect, replace or recharge the battery. In any of these
cases, you should normalize the moon roof.
To normalize the moon roof, push and hold the switch on the
ªTILT UPº side until the moon roof tilts all the way up and then
tilts down a little automatically.
Make sure that the moon roof opens and closes automatically.
If the moon roof cannot be operated properly, have it checked
by your Lexus dealer.
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 death or serious injury.
When anyone closes the moon roof, first make sure
it is safe to do so.
 Be sure to remove the ignition key 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
switch and get trapped in the roof opening.
Unattended p erson (particularly a small child) can be
involved in a serious accident.
 Never sit on top of the vehicle around the roof
opening.

226The beep sound means that the positions are recorded in the
computer's memory.
By repeating these two steps and pressing the remaining
button, the driving position for another driver can be recorded.
To set a new memorized position, select the desired position
and perform step 2. The previous memory will be erased and
the new position will be set.
To make only slight changes to an already memorized position,
the easiest way is to first activate the memorized position, then
make the desired changes and perform step 2 above.
Recalling the memorized position
When
you push button ª1º or ª2º, the driving position will
be automatically adjusted to the position recorded for that
button. Conditions for memorized position activation

Ignition key ªONº and selector lever in ªPº position.
All parts of the memorized positions can be activated.
 Key not in ignition switch and within 30 seconds of opening
driver's door.
The memorized position can be activated, except for the tilt
and telescopic steering.
If any driving position memory switch is pushed while one of the
memorized driving position profiles is being activated, the
operation will stop.
To activate the system, push the desired button (ª1º or ª2º)\
again.
The driving position memory control system cannot be
operated while the vehicle is moving.
If the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the computer's
memory will be erased and the memorized positions will have
to be set again.

(underground parking, under a steel tower, between
buildings, roof parking, near a crossing, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
 The vehicle is magnetized. (There is a magnet or a metal
object on or near the inside rear view mirror.)
 The battery has been disconnected. If your vehicle is out of the set zone, refer to ªCalibrating the
compassº in this Section to set the zone number.

where the earth's magnetic field is subject to interference by
artificial magnetic fields (underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a crossing,
near a large vehicle, etc.).
 During calibration, do not operate electric systems (moon
roof, power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the
calibration.
