small and near the inboard edge of the main
mirror when it is at a distance. The image
becomes larger and begins to move
outboard across the main mirror as the

MOONROOF (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
Do not let children play with the
moonroof or leave them unattended in
the vehicle. They may seriously hurt

When closing the moonroof, you
should verify that it is free of
obstructions and make sure that children and
pets are not in the proximity of the roof
opening. Note:
Do not attempt to move the sunshades
manually or sunshade damage or
malfunction may occur. The sunshade track
clips are designed to release the sunshade
crossbar in order to prevent damage to the
system. If this happens, you may need to
slide the sunshade crossbar ends back into
position to regain proper function. Contact
an authorized dealer for proper moonroof
or sunshade operating, diagnostic or repair
instructions.
Note: If the moonroof is excessively
operated, the glass and shade motors go
into a fail-safe jog mode. This mode allows
manual intermittent operation to prevent
overheating or damage to the motor. The
motors return to normal operation after a
period of idle time. The moonroof and sunshade controls are on
the overhead console and have a one-touch
open and close feature. There is only one
control in the center position if the vehicle
has a fixed glass roof. To stop it during
one-touch operation, press the control a
