open or partially open positions. This is a normal
occurrence and can be minimized. If the buffeting
occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof open-
ing to minimize the buffeting or open any window.

To unlock the liftgate, use the key fob or activate the
power door lock switches located on the driver door
