POWER SUNROOF — IF EQUIPPED

WARNING!

The sunroof has two glass panels (the front one is opera-

tional and the rear one fixed) and is equipped with an

electrically operated sun blind.

• 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.

The power sunroof and the power sun blind can be operated

only with the ignition key turned to the MAR position.

The power sunroof and power sun blind switches are

located in the overhead console.

• 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

Wind Buffeting

With the blind fully open pull the power sun blind switch

and the blind will move towards the front part of the

vehicle, until it is fully closed.

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.

NOTE: During the automatic opening and closing stages,

if the power sun blind switch is pulled again it will stop the

blind movement.

Closing

With the sun blind fully open, pull and hold the power sun

blind switch for approximately one second and release.

The sun blind will close completely, then stop automati-

cally. This is called “Express Close.”
