To open the moonroof:

Press the rear side of the “OPEN/CLOSE” switch. The sunshade will also be opened together with the moonroof. The moonroof will stop at a position approximately 6 in (15 cm) away from the fully opened position. Slide the switch rearward again to open the moonroof completely.

To close the moonroof:

Press the front side of the “OPEN/CLOSE” switch.

To stop the moonroof at a selected midway position while opening or closing it, momentarily push the switch to the “OPEN” side or “CLOSE” side.

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.

NOTE

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.
The moonroof cannot be operated while the remote engine starter system is operating.
