Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pres-
sure 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 occurrence and can be mini-

then 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.
