Pinch Protection Feature

This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Express Close
operation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof will
automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if this occurs. Next, push the switch
forward and release to Express Close.

NOTE:
If three consecutive sunroof close attempts result in Pinch Protect reversals, the fourth
close attempt will be a Manual Close movement with Pinch Protect disabled.

WARNING!

• Do not let children play with the sunroof. Never leave children unattended in a

vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Do not leave the Key Fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly unattended
children, can become entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power
sunroof switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.

• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open

sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.

• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other

body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED

Be sure the transmission is in first gear, not third, when starting from a standing position.
Damage to the clutch can result from starting in third gear.

Never drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal, and never try to hold the vehicle on
a hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged. This will cause abnormal wear on the clutch.

Shifting Into Reverse

To shift into Reverse pull up on the lockout ring (located under the shift knob) and shift the
transmission into Reverse.

NOTE:
• Never shift into REVERSE until the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

• During cold weather, until the transmission lubricant is warm, you may experience

slightly higher shift efforts. This is normal and not harmful to the transmission.
