To open the moon roof:
The moon roof is equipped with an
automatic, one-touch, express
opening, closing and venting feature.
Press and release the rear portion of
the control. To stop motion at any
time during the one-touch
operation, press the control a
second time.
WARNING:When closing the moon roof, you should verify that
it is free of obstructions and ensure that children and/or pets are
not in the proximity of the moon roof opening.
To close the moon roof:
The moon roof is equipped with an automatic, one-touch, express closing
feature. Press and release the front portion of the control. To stop
motion at any time during the one-touch closing, press the control again.
Bounce-back:
When an obstacle has been detected in the moon roof opening as the
moon roof is closing, the moon roof will automatically open and stop at a
prescribed position. This is known as “bounce-back”. If the ignition is
turned off (without accessory delay being active) during bounce-back,
the moon roof will move until the bounce-back position is reached.
Bounce-back override:
To override bounce-back, press and hold the front portion of the control.
For example: Bounce-back can be used to overcome the resistance of ice
on the moon roof or seals. If during a bounce-back condition, the control
is released to the neutral position, then held in the one-touch position
within two seconds after the moon roof reaches the bounce-back
position,the moon roof will travel with no bounce-back protection.
If the control is released before the moon roof reaches fully closed or the
ignition is turned off (without accessory delay being active), the moon
roof will stop. Security override can be used if the moon roof movement
is restricted in some way, for example, if there is ice on the moon roof or
seals.
To vent:
•To tilt the moon roof into the vent position (when the glass panel is
closed), press and release the front portion of the control.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a universal garage door opener which
can be used to replace the common hand-held transmitter.
Car2UHome Automation System (if equipped)

System is a universal transmitter
located in the driver’s visor that
includes two primary features – a
garage door opener and a platform
for remote activation of devices
within the home. The Car2U
system’s garage door opener
function replaces the common
hand-held garage door opener with a three-button transmitter that is
integrated into the interior of your vehicle. After being programmed for
garage doors, the Car2Usystem transmitter can be programmed to
operate security devices and home lighting systems.
WARNING:Make sure that people and objects are clear of the
garage door or security device you are programming. Do not
program the Car2Usystem with the vehicle in the garage.
Do not use the Car2Usystem with any garage door opener that lacks
safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. Federal Safety
Standards (this includes any garage door opener manufactured before
April 1, 1982).
