THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 21

POWER WINDOWS
Power Window Switches
The power window controls are located on the driver’s
door trim panel. There is a single switch on the front
passenger door, which operate the front passenger
window and a single switch on each rear door that
operates the rear passenger door window. The window
controls will operate only when the ignition switch is in
the ON/RUN position.NOTE:
The power window switches will remain active
for up to three minutes after the ignition switch is
cycled to the OFF position. Opening either front door
will cancel this feature.
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, particu-
larly unattended children, can become entrapped
by the windows while operating the power window
switches. Such entrapment may result in serious
injury or death.

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

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 sunroof open, adjust the sunroof open-
ing to minimize the buffeting or open any window.

To unlock the liftgate, use the Remote Keyless Entry key
fob or activate the central locking button located on the
instrument panel below the radio.
To open the liftgate, push the liftgate electronic release
and pull the liftgate open with one fluid motion.
WARNING!
•Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous
exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your
passengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep
the liftgate closed when you are operating the

make sure that all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is set at high speed.
