Pinch Protect Feature

This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Express
Close operation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof
will automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if this occurs. Next, push the
switch forward and release to Express Close.

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 posi-
tions. 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 open-
ing to minimize the buffeting or open any window.

Emergency Operation

In case of electrical failure, the sunroof can be operated with the hex wrench that is
located in the glove compartment. There is a plug located in the rear of the sunroof
opening at the center of the vehicle. Removing the plug reveals a hex opening in the
motor assembly of the sunroof. Insert the hex wrench and turn, moving the sunroof
to the desired location.
Sun Shade — If Equipped
For vehicles equipped with either a power sunroof or a fixed glass roof, there is a
sun shade that can be open or closed. To open the sun shade, push the tab and
move the shade to a full open position.
