3. Check jam protection function

Caution:

• Do not use a part of your body, for example, your hand, to check the jam protection.

• Do not allow anything to become caught in the sliding roof by accident in this procedure.

• Perform the inspection from the inside of the vehicle.

Notice:

• Do not use hard objects, such as a hammer, to avoid damage to the roof.
• If the jam protection does not operate, reset the sliding roof drive gear (motor).

1. When the sliding roof auto operation is operating and an object is caught between the vehicle body and glass, check that the roof glass opens a distance of 218 mm (8.58 In.) From the point of contact with the object, or opens fully if an opening distance of 218 mm (8.58 In.) Is not available.

2. When the tilt up / down function is operating, and an object is caught between the vehicle body and the roof glass, check that the sliding roof tilts up fully.
