If your vehicle has this
option, the switches are
located on the headliner
between the sun visors.
There are two switches that operate the sunroof. The
switches will only work when the ignition is on or when
RAP is active. See ªRetained Accessory Power (RAP)º
in the Index.
The OPEN/CLOSE switch has positions for open or
close and express open. The TILT/CLOSE switch has
positions for tilt or close.

first position to open the glass panel and sunshade. The
sunshade can also be opened by hand.Comfort Stop: Press and release the OPEN/CLOSE
switch rearward to the second position to express open
the glass panel to the comfort stop position. The comfort

by pressing the OPEN/CLOSE switch rearward again.
When the glass panel is express opening, pressing either

position. As the glass panel reaches the closed position,
it will open slightly towards the tilt position and then
drop down to the closed position to provide a better seal.
