SUNROOF
The electric sliding glass sunroof with tilt-up mechanism has been adopted as an option. This sunroof has the following characteristics:
- A lightweight sunroof has been adopted.
- The sunroof tilts up for approximately 30 mm to improve ventilation.
- The integrated switch for the sunroof allows for all slide open/close, tilt up/down and stop operations. When the open switch is operated, the sunroof lid glass stops approximately 30 mm before the fully-open position. This position is called comfort position. The sunroof lid glass can be fully opened by operating the open switch again.
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 or passenger’s door open is detected from the door switch signal transmitted by ETACS-ECU, 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.
