Initialization 

WARNING: Keep objects and body parts clear of the glass panel when carrying out the initialization procedure. During the initialization procedure, the glass panel closes with high force and cannot detect objects in its path. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: The roof opening panel motor must be initialized when repairs are carried out on the roof opening panel system, including: any time the roof opening panel motor has been removed, the roof opening panel glass (fixed panoramic or front sliding) has been removed or adjusted, or if the roof opening panel frame has been removed.
NOTE: Initializing includes both the roof opening panel glass motor and the shield (sunshade) motor.
  1. NOTE: It may be necessary to hold the shield CLOSE button down until the shield fully closes.

    If in the open position, fully close the roof opening panel shield.

  2. With the driver's door closed, place the ignition switch ON and wait for the overhead console lights to turn off.
  3. Press the roof opening panel VENT switch and open the glass to the full vent position.
  4. NOTE: Steps 3 - 6 are to set up the overhead console to accept roof opening panel switch inputs to be held for up to 60 seconds. Normally, the overhead console will consider the switch stuck after 6 seconds and ignore those longer inputs from the switch.

    Press the left map light once (should be "ON").

  5. Press the right map light 4 times (should turn "ON", "OFF", "ON", "OFF").
  6. Touch the left map light once (should turn "OFF").
  7. Immediately  touch the left map light 2 times (should turn "ON", "OFF").
  8. NOTE: Complete the following within 60 seconds:

    1. Open the driver's door and keep open for the rest of the procedure.
    2. NOTE: Vehicles with push button start, a single press and release of the START/STOP button changes the ignition to the OFF mode (wait approximately 15 seconds for the cluster to power down). Press and release the START/STOP button again to turn the ignition to ON mode.

      Cycle the ignition to the OFF position and then back to the ON position.

    3. NOTE: If initializing a previously installed motor (reteaching) there may be a 10 second delay before the glass panel reacts to the VENT switch.

      Press and hold  the VENT switch until the glass panel moves to vent stall and pauses 1 second, then moves to the fully open position and pauses 1 second, then moves to the fully closed position.

    4. Release the VENT switch.

  9. Press and hold  the shield CLOSE switch until the shield moves to fully closed and stalls for 1 second, then moves to fully open and stalls for 1 second and finally moves to the fully closed position.
  10. Release the switch and verify proper operation.
