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, 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 or open any window.
Power Sun Blind
•Pull the power sun blind switch and the blind will
move towards the rear part of the car, until it is fully
open.
With the blind fully open pull the power sun blind switch

stages, if the power sun blind switch is pulled again it
will stop the blind movement.
