Initialization Procedure
If the sunroof does not close or open automatically, use the following procedure to return sunroof operation to normal.
- Press the switch to the UP/CLOSE position to tilt the sunroof up fully. When the sunroof reaches the full tilt up position it will back up a few millimeters and stop.
- Release the UP/CLOSE switch.
- Within 5 seconds of releasing the UP/CLOSE switch, press and hold the UP/CLOSE switch again. The sunroof will move to the full open position and back to the closed position.NOTE: If the UP/CLOSE switch is released anytime during this teaching process, all learned profile data will be discarded and the procedure will have to be started over.
- Release the UP/CLOSE switch. Do not disconnect power for at least two seconds. The sunroof is now initialized and taught.
Initializing procedure is complete. Confirm proper operation of the sunroof (slide open, slide closed, tilt up, tilt down).
