How to open sunroof in Toyota?

Opening the sunroof in your Toyota vehicle is a straightforward process that can let in natural light and fresh air. Whether you have a power-operated or manual sunroof, the steps to open it are simple and easy to follow.


Power-Operated Sunroof


If your Toyota is equipped with a power-operated sunroof, you can open it with the push of a button. Typically, the sunroof controls are located on the overhead console or the center console, near the gear shift. To open the sunroof:



  • Locate the sunroof control switch, which is usually labeled with an icon of an open sunroof.

  • Press and hold the switch in the "open" direction until the sunroof is fully open.

  • To close the sunroof, press and hold the switch in the "close" direction.


Some power-operated sunroofs may also have additional features, such as a tilt function or a wind deflector, which can be controlled using the same switch.


Manual Sunroof


If your Toyota has a manual sunroof, you'll need to use a physical handle or lever to open and close it. To open the manual sunroof:



  • Locate the sunroof handle or lever, which is usually located on the headliner near the front of the sunroof.

  • Grasp the handle or lever and slide it in the "open" direction until the sunroof is fully open.

  • To close the sunroof, slide the handle or lever in the "close" direction until the sunroof is fully closed.


Some manual sunroofs may also have a tilt function, which allows you to raise the rear of the sunroof for increased airflow. This is typically controlled by a separate lever or knob.


Regardless of whether your Toyota has a power-operated or manual sunroof, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines to ensure proper and safe operation.
