Scheme 8

1. Disassemble in the order indicated in the table.
2. Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly.

Note. If the guide is removed, the sunroof motor initial position setting has to be performed. After installing the sunroof unit, perform the initial position setting using the following procedure.

1. The initialization mode starts after approx. 13 s from when the tilt up switch has been pressed and held. The glass stops after it has moved approx. 30 mm {1.18 in} towards the closed position. NOTE: Only the tilt up switch is available during the initialization mode. The initialization may finish at the first inching operation depending on the glass position when the motor is installed. If the glass position is between the closed and semi-tilt positions when the motor is removed, the glass moves in the tilt up direction (to the full tilt position stored in the motor). However, if the tilt up switch is pressed and held, the initialization mode starts.
2. When the tilt up switch is pressed again, the glass continues to move approx. 30 mm {1.18 in} and stops.
3. Repeat this procedure several times so that the glass moves to the fully closed, full tilt (normal operation position), and full tilt (mechanical stopper position) positions.
4. After the glass is moved to the full tilt position (mechanical stopper position), it returns to the tilt down direction slightly and the initialization is completed.
