PANORAMIC MOON ROOF SYSTEM


  1. OUTLINE


    1. Incorporating numerous functions such as one-touch automatic operation and jam protection, an electrically-operated tilt-and-slide sliding roof has been provided depending on vehicle specification.

    2. The sliding roof uses 2 glass panels. One of these, the sliding roof glass sub-assembly, performs tilt up, tilt down, slide open and slide closed according to switch operation.

    3. An electrically-operated roof sunshade system has been adopted, and by using a rolling type sunshade, reduced weight and increased head clearance have been realized.

    4. A pulse sensor (Hall IC) is used to detect the position and movement direction of the sliding roof glass sub-assembly and sunshade trim sub-assembly, which is needed for system control. Furthermore, if the sliding roof drive gear (sliding roof / electrically-operated sunshade trim), sliding roof glass sub-assembly or sunshade trim sub-assembly are removed and reinstalled for inspection or repair, initialization must be performed.

    5. The roof sunshade ECU built into the sliding roof drive gear assembly (roof sunshade) and the panoramic moon roof ECU built into the sliding roof drive gear assembly (panoramic moon roof) are connected via the LIN communication system to perform cooperative control between the roof and the sunshade.

    6. The sliding roof operation switch and the roof sunshade operation switch are located inside the map light assembly.

    7. A mesh deflector is provided, reducing the wind noise and wind-throb* that occurs when the sliding roof is open.

      Tech Tips

      *: A phenomenon of low frequency, pulsating pressure that is felt mainly through the ears of vehicle occupants, which occurs when the vehicle is travelling at specific speeds on the highway, etc. with a window or the sliding roof open.
