sunshade will open automatically as the sunroof opens.

open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur-
rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with
the rear windows open, open the front and rear windows

with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to
minimize the buffeting or open any window.
