Sunroof Ultra View

Caution: People who are in a crash and not wearing a safety belt properly can suffer much worse injuries. They can hit things inside the vehicle or be ejected from it, and be seriously injured or killed. This is true for any vehicle occupant, in any motor vehicle. In a rollover or other crash, the Ultra View® roof can be damaged or destroyed. People who are unbelted would be at risk of being ejected from the vehicle. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your passengers' belts are fastened properly too.

Your vehicle may have an Ultra View® sunroof over the first two rows of seats. The ignition must be turned to ON/RUN, ACC/ACCESSORY, or the Retained Accessory Power (RAP) must be active to operate it. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP).

Press the switch to the second stop to express open the sunroof to a preset comfort position. Press the second stop again to fully express open the sunroof. Press the front of the switch to close the sunroof. The first stop will close the sunroof at a desired position at normal speed, and the second stop will express close the roof.

Anti-Pinch Feature

If an object is in the path of the sunroof when it is closing, the anti-pinch feature will detect the object and stop the sunroof from closing at the point of the obstruction. The sunroof will then reverse. To close the sunroof once it has re-opened, remove the obstruction and press the front of the sunroof switch.

  1. With the engine running, press and hold both the sunroof switch in the open position and the sunshade switch in the closed position for six seconds.
  2. Release both buttons.
  3. When the sunroof reaches the fully closed position, the sunshade will close.
