Sunroof Operation

WARNING: Keep fingers and other body parts out of sunroof opening at all times.

The sunroof control switch is located on the windshield header, rearward of the map light. OPEN and CLOSE are a single rocker switch and VENT is a push button. Both switches are of the momentary contact type.

The sunroof features one-touch control for express-open and express-vent. This is accomplished by momentarily pressing and releasing the appropriate switch for not more than one-half second. If the switch is pressed and held for more than one-half second it automatically becomes manually operated. With manual operation the sunroof can be set at any position. To do this, depress the switch (for more than one-half second), then, release it when the sunroof is at the desired position, or after it stops.

NOTE: The sunroof will operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position. The sunroof will not operate if the vehicle battery voltage is below 10 volts. The sunroof cannot be manually operated (cranked or otherwise) if the sunroof becomes inoperable without a significant portion of the headlining being removed.

The manually operated sunshade can be positioned anywhere along its travel, rearward of glass panel front edge.

The controller detects hard-stop positions (open and close) by measuring the amperage draw of the motor. However, upon detecting a motor stall, regardless of glass panel position or direction of motion, the motor is turned off (examples: iced or frozen mechanism, dirty tracks or obstructed glass panel). Since winter conditions may cause icing, creating excessive loads on the motor, the controller could detect a stall condition before reaching the desired position. For this reason, the operator may attempt to move the sunroof glass panel after a stall condition by releasing the control switch before pressing it again.

NOTE: When battery voltage to the sunroof controller is interrupted in any way, the controller will not be able to find the vent position for the first cycle after battery voltage is restored. After the first cycle to the full open and then to the full closed position, the controller has relearned the vent position and will function normally.
