switch beside the interior light.
The moon roof works when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.

closed, it works for 43 seconds even after
the ignition switch is turned off. It stops
working when either side door is opened.
Tilting operation—
To tilt up: Push the switch briefly on the
“OPEN” side. The roof will tilt up com-
pletely.
To stop the roof partway, push the switch
either the “OPEN” or “CLOSE” side briefly.
The sun shade will open lightly with the
moon roof. To open the sun shade com-
pletely, pull it back by hand.
To lower: Push the switch briefly on the
“CLOSE” side. The roof will lower com-
pletely.

To open (with the roof tilting up): Push the
switch on the “OPEN” side briefly. The
roof will open completely.

Jam protection function:
During closing
operation, the moon roof stops and opens
half way if something gets caught between
the moon roof and frame.
If the moon roof receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught.
When the battery is disconnected, the
moon roof cannot operate automatically
and the jam protection function will not
function correctly. Therefore, you need to
normalize the moon roof as follows.
To normalize: Close the moon roof, and
continue to hold the switch up briefly after
the moon roof reaches the completely
closed position and the motor is blocked.
If the moon roof cannot be operated prop-
erly, have it checked by your Toyota deal-
er. There are cases where malfunctions may
activate the jam protection function, which
will prevent the roof from closing com-
pletely. In this case, pushing and holding
the switch on the “CLOSE” side will close
the roof completely.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
While the vehicle is moving, always
keep the head, hands and other
parts of the body of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Other-
wise, you could be seriously injured
if the vehicle stops suddenly or if
the vehicle is involved in an acci-
dent.
Always make sure nobody places
his/her head, hands and other parts
of the body in the roof opening be-
fore you close the roof. If some-
one’s neck, head or hands gets
caught in the closing roof, it could
result in a serious injury. When
anyone closes the roof, first make
sure it is safe to do so.

NOTICE
Do not disconnect the battery cables
before contacting your Toyota dealer.
Toyota strongly urges the use of child
restraint systems for children small
enough to use them.
The laws of all fifty states in the U.S.A.
and Canada now require the use of a
child restraint system.
Your vehicle conforms to SAEJ1819.
If a child is too large for a child restraint
system, the child should sit in the rear
seat and must be restrained using the
vehicle’s seat belt. See “Seat belts” for
details.
CAUTION
For effective protection in automo-
bile accidents and sudden stops,
child must be properly restrained
using a seat belt or child restraint
system depending on the age and
size of the child. Holding a child in
your arms is not a substitute for a
child restraint system. In an acci-
dent, the child can be crushed
against the windshield, or between
you and the vehicle’s interior.
Toyota strongly urges use of a
proper child restraint system which
conforms to the size of the child,
and is put on the rear seat. Accord-
ing to accident statistics, the child
is safer when properly restrained in
the rear seat than in the front seat.
Never put a rear −facing child re-
straint system on the front seat. In
the event of an accident, the force
of the rapid inflation of the airbag
can cause death or serious injury if
a rear −facing child restraint system
is put on the front seat.
Unless it is unavoidable, do not put
a child restraint system on the
front seat.
