CAUTION
To prevent burns or injury
Observe the following precautions.
Although the jam protection function has been installed, make sure that
passenger’s hands and faces are not caught in the panoramic roof shade
while it is closing. Also, as there is a chance that the jam protection func-
tion will not react just before closing, make sure not to catch fingers etc. in
the roof.
The opening or closing of the panoramic roof shade can be stopped by
pressing the switch.
If the panoramic roof shade will not close (for example, due to a malfunc-
tion in the jam protection function), the shade can be closed by pressing
and holding the switch.
The jam protection function may operate if a load or impact, similar to that
applied when a foreign object is caught in the roof shade, is applied by
environmental or driving conditions.
The underside of the roof will become hot if the vehicle is left in the direct
sunlight for a long period of time. Do not touch the parts inside the gap
between the roof underside and the roof shade, as you may burn yourself.
Do not touch any rough or sheared parts of the roof underside, as you may
injure yourself.
