not leave the key where it may be ex-
posed to

high temperature or high humid-
ity.

Safety mechanism E00303800090
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing sunroof,
it will reopen automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure

that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the sunroof when opening or closing.
The opened sunroof will become operational after
a few seconds.

more times consecutively, normal closing of the sun-
roof will be aborted. In such an event, the follow-
ing steps should be taken: 1. Press the switch (2) repeatedly, setting thesunroof in the tilt up condition.
2. Once the tilt up condition has been reached, press and hold the switch (2) for a period of
at least 3 seconds.
3. Press the switch (2) once again to fully close the sunroof.
4. After pressing the switch (3) to perform full opening, press the switch (2) to fully close

the opening or closing end during operations
in steps 3 and 4 above. If this should acciden-
tally happen, repeat the process from step 1.

the

high position for quick heat-
ing. Once the seat is warm, set the heater
to low to keep it warm. Slight variations
in seat temperature may be felt while us-
ing the heated seats. This is caused by the
operation of the heater’s internal thermo-
stat and does not indicate a malfunction. Seat and seat belts

serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident, al-
ways make sure the head restraints are in-
stalled and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.

on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
To adjust height

restraint height so that the centre
of the head restraint is as close as possible to eye
level to reduce the chances of injury in the event of
collision. Any person too tall for the head restraint
to reach their seated eye level, should adjust the re-
straint as high as possible. To raise the head restraint, move it upward. To low-
er the
restraint,

move it downward while pushing
the height adjusting knob (A) in the direction of the
arrow. After adjustment, push the head restraint
downward and make sure that it is locked. To adjust forward or backward (front
