WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof, or leave children unattended in the
vehicle, and do not leave the key in or near the vehicle (or in a location ac-
cessible to children). Occupants, particularly unattended children, can be-
come 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 seriously injured or killed. Always fasten
your seat belt 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.

switch is located on the overhead console. The switch contains two buttons.
The passenger side button, is used to open the power top, and the driver side but-
ton, is used to close the power top.

WIND BUFFETING
• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffet-
ing occurs with the windows down, adjust one or both windows up or down
slightly.
• If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust
any window. This will minimize buffeting.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
• To prevent possible engine damage while starting at low temperatures, this
vehicle will inhibit engine cranking when the ambient temperature is less than
–22° F (–30° C) and the oil temperature sensor reading indicates an engine block
heater has not been used. An externally-powered electric engine block heater is
available as optional equipment or from your authorized dealer.
• The message "plug in engine heater" will be displayed in the instrument cluster
when the ambient temperature is below 5° F (–15° C) at the time the engine is
shut off as a reminder to avoid possible crank delays at the next cold start.
