The roof opening panel consists of an electronically operated sliding glass panel and electronically operated sunshades that can be opened or closed by pressing a switch located on the overhead console. The sliding glass panel has one-touch open, one-touch close and one-touch vent open features. The shades have a one-touch-open feature.
The front and rear shades operate together with a 80 mm (3.14 in) delay in the closing of the rear shade to the front. The sunshade may be in any position when the sliding glass panel is in the closed position. The shades will open a proportional amount when the sliding glass panel is in any position between closed and fully open. With the sliding glass panel in the fully OPEN position, the shades are disabled to prevent wind damage.
When the sliding glass panel is in the fully CLOSED position, pressing the overhead console roof opening panel control switch rearward to the second detent and then releasing it will activate the one-touch open feature and the glass panel will open to the comfort position. Pressing the switch a second time will move the glass to the fully OPEN position. The one-touch open feature can be canceled any time the sliding glass is moving by pressing the roof opening panel control switch in either direction.
With the sliding glass panel in any open position except VENT, rocking the roof opening panel control switch forward and then releasing it will activate the one-touch close feature. Pressing the roof opening panel control switch in either direction with the roof opening panel moving will cancel the one-touch close operation and the motion will immediately stop.
If an obstacle contacts the leading edge of the sliding glass panel during one-touch close operation, the roof opening panel glass will reverse direction and open to approximately the mid position and stop. The operator cannot stop this open motion once it has begun.
If an obstacle contacts the leading edge of the roof opening panel glass during one-touch vent close operation, the roof opening panel glass will reverse direction to the VENT position.
When the sliding glass panel is in the fully CLOSED position, pressing the roof opening panel control tilt switch and then releasing it will activate the one-touch vent feature. To vent the sliding glass panel from any position, press and hold the tilt switch. To close, press and hold the roof opening panel control switch in the forward position.
Global Open - MKX Only - The smart junction box (SJB) sends a signal on the global open circuit, to the roof opening panel motor, to open or close the windows based on a signal received from the remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter. If the accessory delay relay is active, the global open feature will not operate.

Roof Opening Panel Motor 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. New roof opening panel glass motor/shade motors must be initialized after installation.
Note. An de-initialized glass or shade motor will stutter step open when their respective open switches are pressed.
Note. The glass close switch must be held during the entire initialization process or the sequence will be aborted and the roof will remain in a de-initialized state.
For a new drive assembly
Note. If installing a new roof opening panel shade motor assembly, use the existing drive assembly procedure.
- Start the engine.
- Press and hold the glass close switch. The glass panel will move toward the front hard-stop, stall and then move backward a few millimeters and then forward. The shade panels will move toward their front hard-stops, stall, move back a few millimeters, then forward. After the shade panels have finished moving backward and forward, release the glass close switch.
- Repress and hold the glass close switch while the glass and shades fully open and fully close.
- Initialization is now complete. Verify successful initialization by carrying out one-touch open, one-touch close, one-touch vent (glass) and one-touch open for the shades. If roof opening panel does not operate correctly, repeat Steps 2 through 4.
- Start the engine.
- Press and hold the glass close switch until the glass is in CLOSED position.
- Release, repress and hold the glass close switch (for at least 10 seconds). The glass panel will move toward the front hard-stop and stall. The shade panels will move toward their front hard-stops, stall, move back a few millimeters, then forward. After the shade panels have finished moving backward and forward, release the glass close switch.
- Press and hold the glass close switch. The glass and shades will fully open together. Then, the glass will close first and then the shades will return to the fully CLOSED position. When the shades have stopped moving, release the glass close switch.
- Initialization is now complete. Verify successful initialization by carrying out one-touch open, one-touch close, one-touch vent (glass) and one-touch open for the shades. If roof opening panel does not operate correctly, repeat Steps 6 through 9.
