Roof Opening Panel - Sliding Glass Panel Operation: Notes

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.
