Sunroof / Moonroof: Description and Operation






The electric roof opening panel system operates in the following manner:
1. When the roof sliding panel switch is rocked rearward, the roof sliding outer glass panel slides into the storage space exposing an opening over seats.
2. When the roof sliding panel switch is rocked forward with the roof sliding outer glass panel fully back in the storage space, the roof sliding outer glass panel moves forward from the storage position.

Near the end of the forward travel, the rear portion of the roof sliding outer glass panel moves upward on two lifter arms. This allows a weather-tight seal when the roof sliding outer glass panel is closed.

3. When the roof sliding panel switch is rocked forward with the roof sliding outer glass panel fully forward, the rear of the roof sliding outer glass panel pops up to the VENT position.
4. With the roof sliding outer glass panel in the VENT position, rocking the roof sliding panel switch rearward closes the roof sliding outer glass panel.
5. The sunshade is manually slid forward and backward to cover the opening when the roof sliding outer glass panel is in the flush position. If the sunshade is in the forward position when the roof sliding panel switch is rocked rearward the sunshade will move rearward with the roof sliding outer glass panel.
