POWER SUNROOF Ð IF EQUIPPED
The sunroof control is located on the headliner between
the sun visors.
A single control ªtiltsº the sunroof to the vent position
and also slides the sunroof rearward to the full open
position. Move the switch rearward to move the sunroof
panel to the full vent position. The sunroof can be
stopped at any position between closed and full vent
open.
Once the sunroof panel is in the full vent position, you
may momentarily move the switch rearward (less thanone second) to initiate the express open mode. During
this operation, any movement of the switch will stop the
sunroof and it will remain in a partial open position.
To close the sunroof, hold the switch in the forward
position. Again, any release of the switch will stop the
movement and the sunroof will remain in a partial open
condition until the switch is pushed forward again.
WARNING!
In an accident, there is a greater risk of being thrown
from a vehicle with an open sunroof. You could also
be seriously injured or killed. Always fasten your
seat belt properly and make sure all passengers are
properly secured too.
Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof.
Never allow fingers or other body parts, or any
object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury
may result.

Sunroof Maintenance
Use only a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean
the glass panel.
Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the
ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof (if so equipped) in certain
open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur-
rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with
the rear windows open, open the front and rear windows
together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs
with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to
minimize the buffeting.
CONSOLE FEATURES
The Standard console with armrest has two front cup
holders and a front storage tray. There are two additional
cupholders; one is molded in the center of the console to
hold large cups, and the other is on the underside of the
console lid to serve passengers in the rear seat. The
underside console lid also has an integral tissue pack
holder. The covered storage area has CD and cassette
holders.
