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 occurs. Next, push the
switch forward and release to Express Close.
Venting Sunroof — Express
Push and release the Vent button within one half second and the sunroof will open to
the vent position. This is called “Express Vent”, and it will occur regardless of sunroof
position. During Express Vent operation, any other actuation of the switch will stop
the sunroof.
Sunshade Operation
The sunshade can be opened manually. However, the sunshade will open automati-
cally as the sunroof opens.
NOTE:
The sunshade cannot be closed if the sunroof is open.
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.
Sunroof Maintenance
Use only a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the glass panel.
