WIND BUFFETING

• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting

occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.

• If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any

window. This will minimize buffeting.
