If your vehicle is equipped with a sunroof, you can slide or tilt your sunroof with the sunroof control lever located on the overhead console.

The sunroof can only be opened, closed, or tilted when the ignition switch is in the ON position.

• After a vehicle is washed or in a rainstorm be sure to wipe off any water that is on the sunroof before operating it.

CAUTION
Do not continue to move the sunroof control lever after the sunroof is fully opened, closed, or tilted.

Damage to the motor or system components could occur.

NOTICE
The sunroof cannot tilt when it is in the slide position but can be slid while in a tilt position.

WARNING
• Never adjust the sunroof or roller blind while driving. This could result in loss of control and an accident that may cause death, serious injury, or property damage.

• If you would like to carry items on the roof rack using a cross bar, do not operate the sunroof.

• When carrying cargo on the roof rack, do not load heavy items above the sunroof or glass roof.
