Roof Opening Panel - Shade Panel Operation

Power Shade Operation

NOTE: Any sliding glass panel opening operation first automatically opens the shade panel (to the halfway position). Before the shade panel may be closed, the sliding glass panel first automatically moves to the fully CLOSED position.

NOTE: With the sliding glass panel in the fully OPEN position, the shade is disabled to prevent wind damage.

The shade assembly uses an integrated motor and module to operate the shade. Pressing or pulling the shade control switch supplies a ground to the roof opening panel shade motor/module.

The sliding glass panel motor and shade motor communicate to each other through a dedicated circuit within the roof opening panel jumper harness. The sliding glass panel motor and shade motor do not communicate to the vehicle network.

To open the shade, press and release the shade control switch. When the shade is in the fully CLOSED position and the shade control switch is pressed, the shade automatically opens and stops at the front glass panel (halfway position). Pressing the shade control switch a second time allows the shade to open past the rear glass panel (full open position).

To close the shade, pull and release the shade control switch. When the shade is in the fully OPEN position and the shade control switch is pulled, the shade closes and stops at the rear glass panel. Pulling and releasing the shade control switch a second time allows the shade to move to the front glass panel (full CLOSED position).

Bounce-Back (Power Shade)

The shade has a bounce-back feature. When an obstacle has been detected as the shade is closing, the shade will automatically reverse direction and open to a predetermined position.

Roof Opening Panel - Sliding Glass Panel Operation

NOTE: If the shade is in the CLOSED position and a sliding glass control switch is activated, the shade performs a one-touch open operation automatically which is followed by the sliding glass operation that was requested.

The sliding glass panel assembly uses an integrated motor and module to operate the sliding glass panel. Actuating the SLIDE or TILT control switches supplies a ground to the sliding glass panel motor/module.

The sliding glass panel motor and shade motor communicate to each other through a dedicated circuit within the roof opening panel jumper harness. The sliding glass panel motor and shade motor do not communicate to the vehicle network.

To open the roof opening panel, press and release the SLIDE control switch. The roof opening panel opens automatically. The roof opening panel movement can be stopped at any time by pressing the switch again.

To close the roof opening panel, pull and release the SLIDE or TILT control switch. The roof opening panel closes automatically. The roof opening panel movement can be stopped at any time by activating the SLIDE or TILT control switch in either direction.

To vent the roof opening panel, the roof opening panel must first be in the fully CLOSED position. Press and release the TILT control switch. The roof opening panel will move to the VENT position automatically. The roof opening panel can be closed by pulling either the TILT or SLIDE control switch.

The sliding glass panel motor is equipped with a thermal protection mode. When in thermal protection mode, the sliding glass panel only moves towards the close direction in small increments (approximately 50 mm (1.9685 in)) until the sliding glass panel is in the fully closed position.

Bounce-Back

The roof opening panel has a bounce-back feature. If an obstacle has been detected in the roof opening panel as the sliding glass is closing, the roof opening panel automatically opens and stops at a predetermined position.

Security Override

To override a bounce-back condition (to overcome the resistance of ice on the roof opening panel seal for example), within 2 seconds of a bounce-back event, pull and hold the slide or tilt control switch. The glass operates in manual mode with bounce-back detection turned off until the switch is released.
