sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt

• 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 may result.
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.
