WINDOWS
Power Window Controls
The power window controls are located on the shifter
bezel, below the climate controls, which operate the driver
and passenger door windows. The window controls will
operate when the ignition switch is in the MAR (ACC/
ON/RUN) position.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, and do
not let children play with power windows. Do not
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children. Occupants, particularly unat-
tended children, can become entrapped by the win-
dows while operating the power window switches.
Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
Auto-Down
The window switches have an Auto-Down feature. Push
the window switch for approximately one second, release,
and the window will go down automatically. To cancel the
Auto-Down movement, operate the switch in either the up
or down direction and release the switch. To open the
window part way, pull the window switch briefly, and
release the switch when the window is in the desired
position.
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 occurrence 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 SUNROOF — IF EQUIPPED
The power sunroof switch is located in the overhead
console.
WARNING!
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Never leave the key
fob in or near the vehicle or in a location accessible to
children. Occupants, particularly unattended chil-
dren, 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 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 too.
• 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.
To Open

sunroof button and hold it for approximately one second,
the sunroof will return to the vented position. Pull the
switch a second time and hold for approximately one

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 occurrence 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.
Sun Shade — If Equipped
For vehicles equipped with either a power sunroof or a
fixed glass roof, there is a sun shade that can be open or
closed. To open the sun shade, push the tab and move the
shade to a full open position.
Manual Sun Shade
60 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Pinch Protect Feature
This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the
sunroof during Express Close operation. If an obstruction
in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof will
automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if this oc-
curs. Next, push the switch forward and release to Express
Close.
Emergency Operation
In case of electrical failure, the sunroof can be operated
with the hex wrench that is located in the glove compart-
ment. There is a plug located in the rear of the sunroof
opening at the center of the vehicle. Removing the plug
reveals a hex opening in the motor assembly of the sunroof.
Insert the hex wrench and turn, moving the sunroof to the
desired location.

side button is used to open the power top, and the driver
side button is used to close the power top.NOTE:
•
The power top buttons will operate when the ignition
switch is turned to the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position.

or if scratching noises due to dust are present. Refer to
“Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications” for
information.
WARNING!
The convertible top does not provide the structural
protection that a reinforced metal roof does and the
fabric top cannot be expected to prevent the ejection of
the occupants in a collision. Therefore, it is important
that all occupants wear their seat belts at all times.
Death or serious injuries could occur if you are ejected
from the vehicle during a collision.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior
water damage, stains or mildew on the top material:
• Avoid high-pressure car washes, as they can damage
the top material. Also, increased water pressure may
force water past the weather strips.
• Remove any standing water from the top and dry the
surface before opening it. Operating the top, opening

a door or lowering a window while the top is wet
may allow water to drip into the vehicle’s interior.

directed at the weather strip seals may cause water to
leak into the vehicle’s interior.
