WIND BUFFETINGWind 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 occur-
rence 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.OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS (SEDAN)Some of the most important safety features in your
vehicle are the restraint systems. These include:•
Front and rear seat belts for all passengers
•
Front airbags for both the driver and front passenger
•
Pretensioning and load-limiting retractors for the front
seat belts.
•
Knee Impact Blocker panels for front seat occupants.
•
Supplemental front seat mounted side Head/Thorax
airbags for both the driver and front passenger (if
equipped).
•
Front seat belt retractors that incorporate pretension-
ers to enhance occupant protection by managing oc-
cupant energy during an impact event.
If you will be carrying children too small for adult-size
seat belts, your seat belts or the LATCH feature also, can
be used to hold infant and child restraint systems.
Please pay close attention to the information in this
section. It tells you how to use your restraint system
properly to keep you and your passengers as safe as
possible.
