Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. 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 opensunroof. You could also be severely 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.
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.
