DESCRIPTION

SUNROOF

The sunroof features a power sliding glass panel and a sunshade which can be manually positioned anywhere
along its travel, rearward of glass panel front edge.

The sunroof is electrically operated from two switches located on the windshield header, rearward of the map
lamp. To operate the sunroof the ignition switch must be in either the Accessory or On/Run position. One
switch (vent) is a push button type and opens the sunroof to the vent position only. The other switch
(open/close) is a rocker type for opening and closing the sunroof. Pressing and releasing the open button once
the sunroof will express open and the wind deflector will raise. If the button is pressed a second time the
sunroof will stop in that position. Pressing and releasing the button while the sunroof is in the open position will
cause the sunroof to express close and the wind deflector will lower. If the button is pressed a second time the
sunroof will stop in that position.
