pressure on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the
ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the

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

minimize the buffeting or open any window.
