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 than
one 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.
NOTE:When closing the sunroof, make sure the close
button is held in the close position until the motor stops.
This ensures the sunroof is fully closed and latched.
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.
CAUTION!
The sunroof should not be operated above 70 mph.
Opening or closing the sunroof above 70 mph may
jam the sunroof mechanism.

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.

Satellite Antenna
To ensure optimum reception, do not place items on the
roof around the rooftop antenna location. Metal objects
placed within the line of sight of the antenna will cause
decreased performance. Larger luggage items should be
placed as far forward as possible. Do not place items
directly on or above the antenna.
Reception Quality
Satellite reception may be interrupted due to one of the
following reasons.
²The vehicle is parked in an underground parking
structure or under a physical obstacle.
²Dense tree coverage may interrupt reception in the
form of short audio mutes.
²Driving under wide bridges or along tall buildings can
cause intermittent reception.
²Placing objects over or too close to the antenna can
cause signal blockage.
