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 in partially open positions. This is a

normal occurrence and can be minimized. If the rear

windows are open and buffeting occurs, open the front

and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting.

Some of the most important safety features in your

vehicle are the restraint systems:

• Three-point lap and shoulder belts for the driver and

all passengers

• Front seat belts may incorporate pretensioners that

may enhance occupant protection by managing occu-

pant energy during an impact event

• Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front passen-

• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains

(SABIC) — if equipped

• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) — if

• An energy-absorbing steering column and steering

• Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants

• All seat belt systems (except driver's and second row

center position) include Automatic Locking Retractors

(ALRs), which lock the seat belt webbing into position

by extending the belt all the way out and then adjust-

ing the belt to the desired length to restrain a child seat

or secure a large item in a seat — if equipped
