SUNROOF TIMER MECHANISM

In cases except the following, the basic operation 
and jam preventing mechanism will be maintained 
for thirty seconds after the ignition switch is turned to 
the "LOCK" (OFF) position (Sunroof timer function).

• If you open a door within that period (i.e. a door 

switch is on), the sunroof timer function will be 
cancelled immediately.

SAFETY MECHANISM

• If any obstacle such as a hand or a head is 

detected to be pinched during a sunroof lid glass 
closing operation, the sunroof lid glass is opened 
by approximately 200 mm (7.9 inches) or more. 
(Safety mechanism)

• During the sunroof lid glass closing operation, by 

continuing the sunroof close switch operation, the 
sunroof can be forcibly closed without activating 
the safety mechanism even when an obstacle is 
detected to be pinched.

• During the safety mechanism activation, when 

the sunroof close switch is operated, the sunroof 
lid glass stops. By continuing the close switch 
operation, the sunroof lid glass can be forcibly 
closed without activating the safety mechanism 
even when an obstacle is detected to be pinched.
