occurs with the rear windows open,
then open the front and rear windows
together to minimise the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof
open, then adjust the sunroof opening
to minimise the buffeting.
Ignition Off Operation
The power sunroof controls will
remain active for up to approximately
ten minutes after the ignition device
is in OFF position. Opening either
front door will cancel this function.
The ignition system timing can
be set using the MIA system (see
"Functions of Settings Menu on MIA"
in section "Dashboard Instruments and
Controls").
