Sunroof Or Sunshade Obstacle Detection Reversal Override





SUNROOF OR SUNSHADE OBSTACLE DETECTION REVERSAL OVERRIDE

SINGLE PANE

There are two methods for overriding the obstacle detection feature if the single pane sunroof sliding glass is unable to close due to a known blockage condition (ice, leaves, debris in track).

OVERRIDE - METHOD 1

Depress and hold the CLOSE push button of the sunroof switch during the close. The sunroof will be in override mode during the close.

OVERRIDE - METHOD 2

Once the sunroof encounters and reverses on an obstacle during express (one touch) closing three consecutive times, the sunroof will be in override mode. All push button commands will be in manual mode (no one-touch or express mode) while the obstacle detection feature is in override mode.

EXITING OVERRIDE MODE

Any sunroof obstacle detection override mode is exited by reaching the close position. Once the override has been exited, all normal operations will resume including the obstacle detection feature.

DUAL PANE

There are two methods for overriding the obstacle detection feature if the dual pane sunroof sliding glass panel or sunshade is unable to close due to a known blockage condition (ice, leaves, debris in track).

OVERRIDE - METHOD 1

Depress and hold the CLOSE push button of the sunroof or sunshade switch during the initial close, during the reversal and for 2 seconds after the reversal stops. If the CLOSE push button is released at any time between the initial close and the end of the 2 seconds after the reversal stops, the sunroof or sunshade will not enter override mode. Once the CLOSE push button has been held through these events, the sunroof or sunshade will be in primary override mode. All CLOSE push button commands will be in manual mode (no one-touch or express mode) while the obstacle detection feature is in primary override mode.

OVERRIDE - METHOD 2

Once the sunroof or sunshade encounters and reverses on an obstacle during closing three consecutive times with no other sunroof or sunshade push button switches being depressed, the fourth time the CLOSE push button is depressed, the sunroof or sunshade will be in override mode. All push button commands will be in manual mode (no one-touch or express mode) while the obstacle detection feature is in override mode.

EXITING OVERRIDE MODE

Any sunroof or sunshade obstacle detection override mode is exited by either reaching the close position or by depressing any sunroof or sunshade switch push button except CLOSE to remove the obstacle. Once the override has been exited, all normal operations will resume including the obstacle detection feature.
