20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

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 sunroof open, adjust the sunroof open-

ing to minimize the buffeting or open any window.

LIFTGATE

Power Window Switches

To unlock the liftgate, use the key fob or activate the

power door lock switches located on the driver door

handle.

Auto-Down

The driver’s door window switch has an Auto-Down

feature. Push the window switch for approximately one

second, release, and the window will go down auto-

matically. To cancel the Auto-Down movement, operate

the switch in either the up or down direction and

release the switch.

To open the liftgate, squeeze the liftgate release handle

and pull the liftgate open with one fluid motion.

NOTE: Gas props support the liftgate in the open

position. However, because the gas pressure drops with

temperature, it may be necessary to assist the props

when opening the liftgate in cold weather.

vehicle are the restraint systems:
