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, then 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.
Opening Power Shade
The sunshade has two programmed positions: half open
and full open positions. When operating the sunshade
from the closed position, the sunshade will always stop at
the half open position regardless of express or manual
open operation. The switch must be actuated again to
continue on to full open position.Express Open
Push the sunshade switch rearward and release it within
one-half second, the sunshade will open to the half open
position and stop automatically. Push and release the
switch again from the half open position and the sunshade
will open to the full open position and stop automatically.
During Express Open operation, any other actuation of the
sunroof switches will stop the sunshade in a partially open
position.
Manual Open
Push and hold the sunshade switch rearward, the sun-
shade will open to the half open position and stop auto-
matically. Push and hold the sunshade switch again and
the sunshade will open to the full open position. Releasing
the switch while the sunshade is in motion will stop the
sunshade in a partially open position.
Closing Power Shade
If the sunroof is open or vented, the sunshade cannot be
closed beyond the half open position. Pushing the sun-
shade close switch when the sunroof is open/vented and
the sunshade is at half open position will first automati-
cally close the sunroof prior to the sunshade closing.
