open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur-
rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with
the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize
the buffeting or open any window.

make sure that all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is set at high speed.
Do not use the recirculation mode.
