This article provides a comprehensive guide on how to operate the sunroof in your 2015 Chevrolet Equinox.

Feature Guidelines

WARNING:

• Dirt and debris can accumulate on the sunroof seal or in its track, potentially leading to operational issues, excessive noise, or clogging of the water drainage system.
• To maintain proper function, periodically open the sunroof and clear any obstacles or loose debris.
• Clean the sunroof seal and the roof sealing area using a clean cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid removing grease from the sunroof components, as it is essential for proper operation.

Basic Operations

The sunroof switches are located on the headliner above the rearview mirror.

Note: The sunroof can only be operated when the ignition is in the ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY position, or during Retained Accessory Power (RAP) mode.

• To open or close the sunroof: Press and hold the front or rear of the driver-side switch. The sunshade will open automatically with the sunroof but must be closed manually.
• To vent the sunroof: Press and hold the rear of the passenger-side switch. Press and hold the front of the same switch to close the vent.

Express-Open and Close Feature

The sunroof includes an express feature for convenience:

• Express-Open: Press and release the rear portion of the driver-side switch to fully open the sunroof without holding the switch.
• Express-Close: Press and release the front portion of the driver-side switch to fully close the sunroof without holding the switch.

During express operation, the sunroof will move to its fully open or fully closed position automatically.

Note: The express function can be interrupted at any time by pressing the switch again, allowing for manual adjustments.

Anti-Pinch Feature

The sunroof is equipped with an anti-pinch safety mechanism to prevent injuries or damage:

• If an object or obstruction is detected in the sunroof’s path while closing, the anti-pinch feature will automatically stop the sunroof at the point of obstruction.
• After detecting the obstruction, the sunroof will reverse direction and move to the fully open position.

Note:

• The anti-pinch system is sensitive enough to detect objects such as hands or small debris, enhancing safety.
• To clear the obstruction and resume operation, remove the object and activate the switch again. This feature ensures that the sunroof operates safely and prevents unnecessary strain on its motor and components.
