WINDOWS
Power Window Controls
The power window controls are located on the shifter
bezel, below the climate controls, which operate the driver
and passenger door windows. The window controls will
operate when the ignition switch is in the MAR (ACC/
ON/RUN) position.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, and do
not let children play with power windows. Do not
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children. Occupants, particularly unat-
tended children, can become entrapped by the win-
dows while operating the power window switches.
Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
Auto-Down
The window switches have an Auto-Down feature. Push
the window switch for approximately one second, release,
and the window will go down automatically. To cancel the
Auto-Down movement, operate the switch in either the up
or down direction and release the switch. To open the
window part way, pull the window switch briefly, and
release the switch when the window is in the desired
position.
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.

console.
WARNING!
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

fob in or near the vehicle or in a location accessible to
children. Occupants, particularly unattended chil-
dren, can become entrapped by the power sunroof
while operating the power sunroof switch. Such
entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is greater risk of being thrown
from a vehicle with an open sunroof. You could also
be seriously injured or killed. Always fasten your
seat belt properly and make sure all passengers are
properly secured too.
• 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.
To Open
