Retractable Panoramic Roof (If Equipped)
The moonroof controls on the overhead
console operate the same except the
moonroof will open fully when you touch
the open control.
Automatic Glass Movement
When the retractable panoramic roof is
open, it will automatically move to a
position less than full open under certain
vehicle conditions. This helps to reduce
wind noise. If the glass is between this
position and full open and your vehicle
reaches a high speed, the glass will
automatically move to the defined position.
You can override automatic movement by
touching the moonroof open or close
control. The feature will remain overridden
until you switch the ignition off and then
back on.
Power Sunscreen
The power sunscreen covers the
panoramic roof glass. The sunscreen
control is in the overhead console. The sunscreen has a one-touch open and
close feature. Push the control to move
the sunscreen. To stop motion, press the
control a second time. The sunscreen must be open before
opening the moonroof. If you press the
control while the sunscreen is in its closed
position, the sunscreen will open first
followed by the moonroof. If both the
sunscreen and moonroof are open and
you touch the moonroof close control, the
moonroof will close first followed by the
sunscreen.
