Operating the Sunroof Emergency Handle

OPERATING THE SUNROOF EMERGENCY HANDLE

1. Use the sunroof emergency handle to close and open the sunroof manually for the following case only:
- To close the sunroof before driving a vehicle in a rainy day or on the highway if the sunroof cannot be closed due to failure of the sunroof motor or controller.






2. Operating method
- Remove the overhead console.
- Push the emergency handle up into the hexagonal drive (A) of the sunroof motor (B). You must push hard enough to disengage the motor clutch; otherwise the emergency handle will slip due to uncompletely fit in the motor.
- Carefully turn the emergency handle clockwise to close the sunroof.
- After closing the sunroof, wiggle the handle back and forth as you remove the tool from the motor, to ensure the motor clutch reengages.
- A 5 mm hex socket may be used in place of the emergency handle, with a "Speeder" type handle.

CAUTION:
- Do not use power tools to operate the sunroof.
- Damage to the components may occur.
