Automatic Reverse
If an object or part of the body is detected while the roof glass or sunshade is closing automatically, it will reverse direction and then stop.
The auto-reverse function will not operate if a small obstacle is between the sliding glass or sunshade and the roof frame. Always make sure all passengers and objects are clear of the roof before closing it.
WARNING! Roof Sunroof
- Be careful that no one's head, hands, or body are caught in the closing roof.
- Do not extend your face, neck, hands, or body outside the open roof while the vehicle is moving.
- Make sure your hands and face are safely clear before closing the roof.
- The panoramic roof is made of glass, so it may shatter in an accident. If you are not wearing your seat belt, you may be thrown out and the broken glass may cause injury or death. For the safety of all passengers, always use appropriate restraints (e.g., seat belt, CRS, etc.).
CAUTION
- Periodically remove dirt that may accumulate on the guide rail.
- If you try to open the roof when the temperature is below freezing, or when the roof is covered with snow, ice, or frost, the glass or motor may be damaged.
- If you drive with the roof open immediately after washing the vehicle or in the rain, water may enter the vehicle.
