Sunroof / Moonroof: Description and Operation

ROOF
The roof is a one-piece painted metal unit which incorporates a single solid headliner. There are two moldings, one per side on the vehicle's root, which enclose and hide the root rail seams. The roof moldings are service-able as individual units. The one-piece formed headliner consists of a molded substrate covered with a foam-backed cloth facing. The one-piece construction requires that the headliner be serviced as a complete assembly.

The sunroof has the following characteristics:
- Intended to provide light and air through the roof of the vehicle.
- Built into the roof.
- Made of glass.
- Equipped with a sunshade that opens and closes manually.
- Powered by an electric motor.
- Controlled by a toggle switch built into the interior courtesy lamp assembly. The sunroof control switch is a toggle button located on the right side of the interior courtesy lamp assembly. To operate the sunroof, the ignition must be ON.

Tilting the Sunroof, Open and Closed
To tilt open the rear end of the sunroof, press and hold the forward portion of the toggle button until the sunroof tilts open.

To close the sunroof from a tilted-open position, press and hold the rear portion of the toggle button until the sunroof tilts closed.

Sliding the Sunroof, Open and Closed
To slide open the sunroof, press the rear portion of the toggle button until the sunroof slides. If the sun shade is closed, the sunroof will pull the sunshade open when the sunroof slides open.
To close the sunroof from a slid-open position, press the forward portion of the toggle button until the sunroof slides closed.
