Anytime the vehicle battery is disconnected or goes dead,
the AUTO-up function will be disabled. To reactivate the
auto-up feature, perform the following steps after vehicle
power is restored:1. Pull the WINDOW switch up to close window com-
pletely and continue to hold the switch up for an
additional two seconds after the window is closed.

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 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, then open the front and rear
windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the
buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, then adjust the
sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting.
