The Sky Sliderwill retract automatically if it detects an
obstruction while closing. If this occurs, remove the
obstruction and use the switch again to close the Sky

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 Sky Slider 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, then open the front and rear windows
together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs
with the Sky Slider open, adjust the Sky Slider opening
to minimize the buffeting or open any window.
Sky Slider Maintenance
Refer to “Sky Slider Top Care” under “Maintaining Your
Vehicle” in Section 7 of this manual.

CAUTION!
•Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in
use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.
•Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these inter-
mittently and with greater caution.(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
•After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
alternator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.
•Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs
only. Do not hang any type of accessory or acces-
sory bracket from the plug.

POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a 115-Volt AC (150
Watt maximum) power outlet located on the back of the
center console.This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring power up to 150
Watts. Certain high-end video games, such as Playsta-
tion3 and XBox360 will exceed this power limit, as will
most power tools. Due to built-in overload protection, the
power outlet will shut down if the power rating is
exceeded. Each device to be powered should be checked
first to make sure it does not exceed the outlet’s 150 Watts
maximum rating.
A control switch for the outlet is located in the lower
switch bank below the climate controls.
