Sunroof Timer Mechanism

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In cases except the following, the basic operation and jam preventing mechanism will be maintained for 30 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK" (OFF) position (Sunroof timer function).

If you open a door within that period (i.e. a door switch is on), the sunroof timer function will be cancelled immediately.
If you turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position while the timer is working, the sunroof will continue moving until it closes fully, regardless of the time-out period.
