      Jam Protection The jam protection function automatically stops the sliding roof and moves it open halfway (or to the fully tilted up position) if a foreign object gets jammed in the sliding roof during close or tilt down operation.
      Key Off Operation The key off operation function makes it possible to operate the sliding roof for approximately 43 seconds after the power switch is turned on (ACC) or off, if the front doors are not opened.
      Sliding Roof Open Warning When the power switch is turned from on (IG) to off and the driver door is opened with the sliding roof open, the buzzer in the combination meter assembly sounds once.

      Tech Tips

      The sliding roof control ECU memorizes the initial position of the sliding roof. This memory is not cleared if the battery terminals are disconnected. However, initialization is necessary after the sliding roof drive gear sub-assembly is replaced. For details, refer to the Repair Manual.

    2. Jam Protection Function


      1. To control the jam protection function, the sliding roof control ECU monitors the amount of movement and judges jamming of the sliding roof based on the pulse signals from Hall IC1 and the movement direction of the sliding roof from the phase difference between the pulses from Hall IC1 and Hall IC2.
