Kia Soul: Sunroof / Sliding the sunroof

To close the sunroof, push the sunroof control lever forward.

To open the sunroof automatically:

To stop the sunroof sliding at any point, push the sunroof control lever momentarily.

To close the sunroof automatically:

Push the sunroof control lever forward to the second detent position and then release it. The sunroof will automatically close all the way.

To stop the sunroof sliding at any point, push the sunroof control lever momentarily.

NOTICE

To reduce wind noise while driving, it is recommended that you drive with the sunroof slightly closed (stop the sunroof about 5 cm (2 in.) before the maximum slide open position).

WARNING

Make sure heads, other body parts or other objects are safely out of the way before closing the window to avoid injuries or vehicle damage. Objects less than 4 mm (0.16 inch) in diameter caught between the sunroof glass and the front window channel may not be detected by the automatic reverse window and the window will not stop and reverse direction.

Automatic reversal

If an object or part of the body is detected while the sunroof is closing automatically, it will reverse the direction, and then stop.

The auto reverse function does not work if a tiny obstacle is between the sliding glass and the sunroof sash. You should always check that all passengers and objects are away from the sunroof before closing it.

WARNING

• Never try pinching any part of your body intentionally to activate the Automatic reversal function.
• The Automatic reversal function may not work if something gets caught just before the sunroof fully closes.
