the trunk lid is closed. Exposing the han-
dle to stronger light will cause it to glow
longer.

mm (3.6 in.) from the fully opened posi-
tion. When you push the switch again, the
moon roof will open fully. To stop the roof
partway, push one of the moon roof
switches briefly.
As driving with the moon roof opened fully
will cause wind throbs, we recommend
you to drive with the moon roof partway
90 mm (3.6 in.) from the fully opened
position.
The sun shade will be opened together
with the roof.

roof is left open when you set the
“POWER” switch at ACC or off and open
the driver ’s door, a message
“MOONROOF OPEN” appears on the
multi −information display and a warning
tone sounds.
Key off operation: If both front doors are
closed, the moon roof works for about 45
seconds even after the “POWER” switch
is turned off. It stops working when either
door is opened. Jam protection function:
If something
gets caught between the moon roof and
frame during closing operation, the moon
roof stops and opens.
If the moon roof receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught.
CAUTION
To avoid death or serious personal
injury, you must do the following.
While the vehicle is moving, always
keep the heads, hands and other
parts of the bodies of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Other-
wise, they could be killed or seri-
ously injured if the vehicle stops
suddenly or if the vehicle is in-
volved in an accident.

Before you close the moon roof,
always make sure there is nobody
around the moon roof. You must
also make sure nobody places his
or her head, hands and other parts
of the body in the roof opening. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in the closing roof, it could
result in death or serious injury.
When anyone closes the moon roof,
first make sure it is safe to do so.
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the “POWER” switch
set at ON. Otherwise, he/she could
use the moon roof switch and get
trapped in the roof opening. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.
Never sit on top of the vehicle
around the roof opening.
Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally, as it could re-
sult in a death or serious injury.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the moon roof is fully
closed.

While the vehicle is being driven, all ve-
hicle occupants should have the seatback
upright, sit well back in the seat and prop-
erly wear the seat belts provided.
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle unless the
occupants are properly seated. Do
not allow any passengers to sit on
top of a foldeddown seatback, or
in the luggage compartment or car-
go area. Persons not properly
seated and/or not properly re-
strained by seat belts can be killed
or severely injured in the event of
emergency braking or a collision.
During driving, do not allow any
passengers to stand up or move
around between seats. Otherwise,
death or severe injuries can occur
in the event of emergency braking
or a collision.
Driver seat
CAUTION
The SRS driver airbag deploys with
considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if
the driver is very close to the airbag.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (“NHTSA”) advises:
Since the risk zone for driver airbag
is the first 50—75 mm (2—3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety.
This distance is measured from the
center of the steering wheel to your
breastbone. If you sit less than 250
mm (10 in.) away now, you can
change your driving position in sever-
al ways:
Move your seat to the rear as far
as you can while still reaching the
pedals comfortably.
Slightly recline the back of the
seat. Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the
driver seat all the way forward, sim-
ply by reclining the back of the
seat somewhat. If reclining the back
of your seat makes it hard to see
the road, raise yourself by using a
firm, nonslippery cushion, or raise
the seat if your vehicle has that
feature.
If your steering wheel is adjustable,
tilt it downward. This points the air-
bag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec-
ommended by NHTSA above, while
still maintaining control of the foot
pedals, steering wheel, and your view
of the instrument panel controls.
