Roof Opening Panel

NOTE: To protect the roof opening panel motor from overheating, the motor will only run for approximately 2 minutes at a time. After this amount of time, the motor will shut down and then ignore all commands (except close) for 20 seconds. When the 20 seconds have elapsed, the motor will function normally again.

The roof opening panel is an electronically operated panel that can be opened or closed by depressing a switch located inside the vehicle on the overhead console. It also has one-touch open and close features.

When the roof opening panel switch is momentarily rocked rearward, the roof opening panel moves back into the storage space between the headliner and the roof panel.

When the roof opening panel switch is momentarily rocked forward, the roof opening panel will move to the fully CLOSED position.

The roof opening panel can be moved to the fully CLOSED position by rocking the switch forward and holding it until the roof opening panel is fully closed.

When the roof opening panel is in the fully CLOSED position, the rear portion can be raised to the VENT position to provide ventilation by rocking the switch forward. The roof opening panel can be closed by rocking the switch rearward.
