sunroof will automatically retract. Remove the obstruc-
tion if this occurs. Next, press the power sunroof switch
forward and release to Express Close.
Pinch Protect Override
If a known obstruction (ice, debris, etc.) prevents closing,
press the power sunroof switch forward and hold for two
seconds after the reversal occurs. This allows the sunroof
to move towards the closed position.
NOTE:Pinch protection is disabled while the power
sunroof switch is pressed.
Venting Sunroof - Express
Press and release theVbutton in the center of the power
sunroof switch, and the sunroof will open to the vent
position. This is called Express Vent, which operates
regardless of sunroof position. During Express Vent
operation, any movement of the power sunroof switch
will stop the sunroof.
Sunshade Operation
The sunshade can be opened manually. However, the
sunshade will open automatically as the sunroof opens.
NOTE:The sunshade cannot be closed if the sunroof is
open.
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 or open any
window.

*Cavities 11, 12, and 13 contain self-resetting fuses
(circuit breakers) that are only serviceable by an autho-

passenger seat switch is fused by the 25-amp circuit
breaker in cavity 12. The door modules, the driver power
window switch, and the passenger power window

VEHICLE STORAGE
If you are leaving your vehicle dormant for more than
21 days, you may want to take these steps to protect your
battery.
•Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
•Anytime you store your vehicle, or keep it out of
service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the
air conditioning system at idle for about five minutes
in the fresh air and high blower setting. This will
ensure adequate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the system is
started again.
