Sunroof / Moonroof: Description and Operation

The sliding roof panel:

^ is available as an option.

^ is electrically operated through the accessory delay relay, which is controlled by generic electronic module (GEM).

^ is of self-storing design.
^ requires a specific headliner.
^ utilizes a unique roof console and dome lamp.
^ has an air deflector.

The electrical system operates in the following manner:

^ Two switches control movement of the roof panel.
^ When the SLIDE roof sliding panel switch is rocked rearward, the roof sliding outer glass panel slides into the storage space between the roof trim panel and the roof panel, exposing an opening over the front seats.
^ When the SLIDE 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.
^ The rear portion of the root sliding outer glass panel moves upward on two lifter arms near the end of the forward travel, allowing a weather-tight seal when the roof sliding outer glass panel is closed.
^ An AUTO feature allows the SLIDE roof sliding panel switch to be touched momentarily to cause the roof panel to automatically move to the fully open position.
^ When the TILT 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.







^ With the roof sliding outer glass panel in the VENT position, rocking the TILT roof sliding panel switch rearward closes the roof sliding outer glass panel.
