The switch is operable when the ignition switch is in the “ ON ” position .
To stop the moonroof halfway , slide the moonroof switch either way .
NOTE
. After washing the vehicle or after it rains , wipe away water on the roof prior to opening the moonroof to prevent drops of water from falling into the passenger compartment .
. Driving with the moonroof fully open can cause an annoying sound to be generated at high speeds . If this occurs , use the moonroof at the initial stop position of 6 in ( 15 cm ) away from the fully opened position .
. For the sake of safety , it is recommended that you avoid driving with the moonroof fully opened .
Anti-entrapment function s02ak1001
When the moonroof senses a substantial enough object trapped between its glass and the vehicle ’ s roof during closure , it automatically moves back to the fully open position and stops there . The antientrapment function may also be activated by a strong shock on the moonroof even when there is nothing trapped .
CAUTION
Never attempt to test this function using fingers , hands or other parts of your body .
