  6. Operation Method
    • Remove the headliner.
    • Insert the emergency handle upward into the hexagonal drive of the panoramic roof motor. You must push firmly enough to disengage the motor clutch; otherwise the emergency handle will slip out due to incomplete engagement with the motor.
    • Carefully turn the emergency handle clockwise to close the sunroof.
    • After closing the sunroof, move the handle back and forth. When removing the tool from the motor, make sure the motor clutch re-engages.
    • Instead of the emergency handle, a 5 mm hex key with a speeder-type handle may be used.
