Sunroof / Moonroof: Description and Operation

Sunroof

DESCRIPTION

- The sunroof is a sliding glass type with an automatic opening and closing mechanism.
- The automatic opening and closing mechanism is provided with a jamming prevention feature.
- The sunroof opening in the roof is 694 mm (27.32 in) in length and 710 mm (27.95 in) in width.




CONSTRUCTION

1. OPEN AND CLOSE OPERATIONS
- The sunroof will operate automatically when the sunroof switch is pressed longer than 0.3 second, and operate manually when the switch is pressed less than 0.3 second.
- When the OPEN side of the sunroof switch is pressed, the sunroof lid will slide open. The sunroof lid will stop at a point opened 500 mm (19.69 in) in length. The lid goes to the fully open position if the switch is pressed again.
- When the CLOSE side of the sunroof switch is pressed, the sunroof lid will slide toward the closed position. The sunroof lid will stop at a point 200 mm (7.87 in) before the fully closed position. Pressing the switch again closes the lid completely.

2. SUNSHADE OPERATION
- The sunshade can be opened or closed manually when the sunroof is closed.
- The sunshade, if closed, moves rearward together with the glass lid when the OPEN side of the sunroof switch is pressed.

3. JAMMING PREVENTION FEATURE
- If the system detects a jamming due to an object being caught in during an automatic closing operation, the lid will travel back in the opening direction for about 150 mm (5.91 in) from that position.
