Sunroof / Moonroof: Description and Operation




GENERAL INFORMATION

SUNROOF FUNCTION

A motor-driven inner slide-type glass sunroof with a tilt-up mechanism is available in some models as optional equipment. Even when the sunroof is fully closed, a sufficient amount of lighting and a feeling of openness can still be obtained by opening the sunroof sunshade.

SUNROOF TIMER FUNCTION





The sunroof ECU (integrated into the sunroof motor assembly) receives the ignition switch (IG1) signal transmitted by ETACS-ECU. If the ignition switch (IG1) signal turns OFF, the sunroof ECU allows the sunroof switch to open/close (timer activation) the sunroof for approximately 30 seconds. During the timer operation, if the driver's or passenger's door open is detected from the door switch signal transmitted by ETACS-ECU, the sunroof timer function stops at this time.

SAFETY MECHANISM
