HINT:
- When the slide roof switch is operated for less than 0.3 seconds, the roof glass moves but the auto function does not operate.
- The jam protection function operates during auto operation, manual operation and key-off operation.
(1) Fully open the roof glass.
(2) Hold a hammer handle sufficiently wrapped with a cloth or other material near the fully closed position.
(3) When the roof glass is fully closed by an auto slide close or tilt down operation, check that the hammer handle is not caught, an open or tilt up operation is performed, and the roof glass slides fully open or stops at a position approximately 240 mm from where the jam protection function operated.
HINT:
- When sliding in reverse, the roof glass slides fully open or stops at a position approximately 240 mm from where the jam protection function operated (stops after maximum of 20 seconds elapse).
- When tilting in reverse, the roof glass stops at the fully open position.
- When the roof glass operates in reverse during an auto operation or manual operation, the roof glass slides closed or tilts down.
(d) Check wireless transmitter-linked operation:
NOTICE:

- When the Techstream customize "Door Key P/W Up" and "Door Key P/W Down" settings are not set to "ON", the key-linked function does not operate (initial setting is "OFF").
HINT:
The sliding roof key-linked function can be customized to perform either the sliding roof sliding operation or tilting operation.
(1) Hold the mechanical key to the UNLOCK position of the door lock cylinder for approximately 1.5 seconds or more. Check that a roof glass tilt up or slide open operation is performed. Afterward, return the key to the neutral position and check that the door glass and roof glass stop moving.
(2) Hold the mechanical key to the LOCK position of the door lock cylinder for approximately 1.5 seconds or more. Check that a roof glass tilt down or slide close operation is performed. Afterward, return the key to the neutral position and check that the door glass and roof glass stop moving.
