Roof Opening Panel Motor Initialization

WARNING: Keep objects and body parts clear of the glass panel when carrying out the initialization procedure. During the initialization procedure, the glass panel closes with high force and cannot detect objects in its path. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

NOTE: New roof opening panel glass motor/shade motors must be initialized after installation.

NOTE: A de-initialized glass or shade motor will stutter step open when operated from the roof opening panel control switch.

1. Start the engine.

2. Pull and hold the roof opening panel control switch until the sliding glass panel is in the fully CLOSED position. Release the control switch.

3. Pull and hold the roof opening panel control switch until the sunshade panels are in the fully CLOSED position. Release the control switch.

4. Pull and hold the roof opening panel control switch (for at least 21 seconds).
- For a new drive assembly, the sliding glass panel will move toward the front hard-stop, stall and then move backward a few millimeters and then forward.

- For an existing drive assembly, the sliding glass panel will move toward the front hard-stop and stall.

- The sunshade panels will move toward their front hard-stops, stall, move back a few millimeters, then forward.

- After the sunshade panels have finished moving backward and forward, release the roof opening panel control switch.


5. NOTE: The roof opening panel control switch must be held during the entire initialization process or the sequence will be aborted and the roof will remain in a de-initialized state.
Pull and hold the roof opening panel control switch.

- The sliding glass panel and sunshades will fully open together. Then, the sliding glass panel will close first and then the sunshades will return to the fully CLOSED position. When the sunshades have stopped moving, release the roof opening panel control switch.


6. Initialization is now complete. Verify successful initialization by carrying out one-touch open, one-touch close, one-touch vent (glass) and one-touch open for the shades.
- If roof opening panel does not operate correctly, repeat Steps 2 through 5.
