The electric sliding glass sunroof with tilt-up mechanism has been adopted as an option.
This sunroof has the following characteristics:
The sunroof tilts up for approximately 30 mm to improve ventilation performance.
The integrated switch allows for all slide opening/closing, tilt up/down,
and stop operations. All operations are available at one touch.
If external force is applied during slide closing or tilt down operations that obstructs
operations, the roof lid glass will move in the reverse direction.
DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION
SUNROOF TIMER FUNCTION
The sunroof ECU (integrated into the sunroof motor assembly) receives the ignition switch
(IG1) signal transmitted by ETACS-ECU. If the ignition switch (IG1) signal turns OFF, the sunroof
ECU allows the sunroof switch to open/close (timer activation) the sunroof for approximately
30 seconds. During the timer operation, if the driver's door open is detected from the door
switch signal transmitted by ETACS-ECU, the sunroof ECU extends the timer for approximately
30 seconds to open/close the sunroof by the sunroof switch. However, during this timer operation,
if the driver's door is closed, the sunroof timer function stops at this time.
SUNROOF MOTOR ASSEMBLY
The sunroof motor assembly, which consists of the motor main body, drive gear, and sunroof
ECU, is installed in front of the housing.
SUNROOF ECU
The sunroof ECU incorporates a microcomputer and controls motor operations with the sunroof
switch signals, depending on various conditions.
