Honda Pilot: Panoramic Roof

Opening/Closing the Panoramic Roof

When the power mode is ON in the Honda Pilot 2023, you can easily operate the panoramic roof and sunshade using the switch located at the front of the ceiling. This convenient control allows you to open and close the panoramic roof and adjust the sunshade to suit your preference with ease.

WARNING

Opening or closing the panoramic roof and sunshade on someone's hands or fingers can cause serious injury.

Make sure all hands and fingers are clear of the panoramic roof and sunshade before opening or closing it.

NOTICE

Opening the panoramic roof in below freezing temperature or when it is covered with snow or ice can damage the panoramic roof panel or motor.

The panoramic roof and sunshade can be operated for up to 10 minutes after you set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF.

Opening either front door cancels this function.

When resistance is detected, the auto reverse function causes the panoramic roof and sunshade to change directions, then stop. Auto reverse stops sensing when the panoramic roof and sunshade are almost closed to ensure that it fully closes.

You can use the remote transmitter or the key to operate the panoramic roof.

The panoramic roof cannot be fully opened in a single operation. The panoramic roof has a "comfort" position or wind noise reduction position at which the roof first stops. To open fully, pull the switch back again after the roof has stopped at this position.

Whenever the panoramic roof is opening, the sunshade moves along with it. However, when the panoramic roof is closing, the sunshade does not move.

When you tilt open the panoramic roof, the sunshade opens slightly to let in fresh air. When you close the panoramic roof from this position, the sunshade returns to its closed position.

When you tilt open or slide open the panoramic roof, if the climate control is set to AUTO it will automatically switch to fresh air mode to reduce wind noise. When you close the panoramic roof, depending on the situation it will change to recirculation or fresh air mode.
