WARNING!
• Never leave children in a vehicle with the key in the ignition switch.
Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped
by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch.
Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle
with an open sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed.
Always fasten your seatbelt properly and make sure all passengers
are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your
fingers, other body parts, or any object to project through the
sunroof opening. Injury may result.
WIND BUFFETING
• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound.
If buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear
windows together.
• If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or
adjust any window. This will minimize buffeting.
