Kia Optima: Features of your vehicle / Panoramic sunroof
If your vehicle is equipped with a sunroof, you can slide or tilt your sunroof with the sunroof control lever located on the overhead console.
The sunroof can be operated for approximately 30 seconds after the ignition key is removed or turned to the ACC or LOCK (or OFF) position.
However, if the front door is opened, the sunroof cannot be operated even within the 30 second period.
CAUTION - Sunroof motor damage
To prevent damage to the sunroof, periodically remove any dirt that may accumulate on the guide rail.
In cold and wet climates, the sunroof may not work properly due to freezing conditions.
After the vehicle is washed or in a rainstorm, be sure to wipe off any water that is on the sunroof before operating it.
CAUTION - Sunroof control lever
Do not continue to press the sunroof control lever after the sunroof is fully opened, closed, or tilted. Damage to the motor or system components could occur.
The sunroof cannot slide when it is in the tilt position nor can it be tilted while in an open or slide position.

Do not allow children to operate the sunroof.
CAUTION
Do not extend any luggage outside the sunroof while driving.
WARNING
