GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND SYSTEM OPERATION

Roof

The roof is a one-piece painted metal unit which incorporates a single solid headliner. There are two moldings, one per side on the vehicle’s roof, which enclose and hide the roof rail seams. The roof moldings are serviceable as individual units.
The one-piece formed headliner consists of a molded substrate covered with a foam-backed cloth facing. The one-piece construction requires that the headliner be serviced as a complete assembly.

Power Sunroof/Sunroof Control Switch

The sunroof has the following characteristics:
The sunroof control switch is a toggle button located on the right side of the interior courtesy lamp assembly.
To operate the sunroof, the ignition must be ON.

Tilting the Sunroof, Open and Closed

To tilt open the rear end of the sunroof, press and hold the forward portion of the toggle button until the sunroof tilts open.
To close the sunroof from a tilted-open position, press and hold the rear portion of the toggle button until the sunroof tilts closed.

Sliding the Sunroof, Open and Closed

To slide open the sunroof, press the rear portion of the toggle button until the sunroof slides. If the sun shade is closed, the sunroof will pull the sunshade open when the sunroof slides open.
To close the sunroof from a slid-open position, press the forward portion of the toggle button until the sunroof slides closed.

Sun Visors with Vanity Mirror

The sun visors swing down in order to block out glare. They also swing to the side when they are released from the support. To replace the vanity mirror lamp, refer to Section 9B, Lighting Systems.

Passenger Assist Handles

There is a passenger assist handle for each rear outboard seat and for the front passenger seat. Passengers can use these handles to assist in keeping their balance over rough roads or during sharp turns.

Coat Hooks

The coat hooks are located on the left and the right rear passenger assist handles.
