Driver Storage Compartment
A driver storage compartment is located near the
left side of the steering column on the bottom of
the instrument panel. Pull the cover down to open.
Pull out to remove for cleaning.
Convenience Net
Use the convenience net, located in the rear, to store
small loads as far forward as possible. The net should not
be used to store heavy loads.
Sunroof
On vehicles with a sunroof,
the switch is located on
the headliner between the
map lamps.
The sunroof only operates when the ignition is in
ON/RUN, ACC/ACCESSORY, or if Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) is active. See Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 2-23.
Press and release the back of the switch to open the
sunroof to the vent position. From the vent position, press
and release the back of the switch to express-open the
sunroof. To stop the sunroof from express opening, press
the switch again. If the sunshade is closed, it will open
automatically when the sunroof opens past the vented
position.
A deflector will automatically raise when the sunroof is
opened. The deflector will retract when the sunroof
is closed.
To close the sunroof, press the front of the switch and
hold it until the sunroof is closed. The sunroof will stop if
the switch is released. Close the sunshade by hand.
The sunroof glass panel cannot be opened or closed if
the vehicle has an electrical failure.
Notice: Forcing the sunshade forward of the
sliding glass panel may cause damage and the
sunroof may not operate properly. Always close
the glass panel before closing the sunshade.
