is at a safe distance, signal that you intend
to change lanes. Glance over your shoulder

WARNING

Do not adjust the mirrors when your

The mirror dims to reduce the effect of
bright light from behind. It returns to
normal when the bright light from behind
is no longer present or if you shift into
reverse (R).

MOONROOF

(If Equipped)

WARNINGS

Do not let children play with the

WARNINGS

When closing the moonroof, you
should verify that it is free of
obstructions and make sure that

children and pets are not in the proximity
of the roof opening.

The moonroof and sunscreen controls are
located on the overhead console.

The moonroof and sunscreen have a

them during one-touch operation, press
the control a second time.

Opening and Closing the
Sunscreen

moonroof will automatically close before
the sunscreen closes.

Opening and Closing the Moonroof

Press and release the rear of the control
to open the moonroof. If it is closed, the
sunscreen will automatically open before
the moonroof opens. The moonroof will
stop short of the fully opened position.

Note: This position helps to reduce wind
noise or rumbling which may happen with
the moonroof fully open. Press and hold the
control again to fully open the moonroof.

Press and release the front of the control
to close the moonroof.

Bounce-Back

The moonroof will stop automatically
while closing. It will reverse some distance
if there is an obstacle in the way.

Press and hold the front of the control
within two seconds of a bounce-back
event to override this function. While
bounce-back is active, the closing force
increases for each of the next three times
that you close the moonroof.

Venting the Moonroof

Press and release the front of the control
to vent the moonroof. Press and release
the rear of the control to close the
moonroof.

Note: When you vent the moonroof it will
rise to 1.57 in (4 cm) and then lower slightly.
This is normal. You cannot stop the
moonroof in the higher position.
