46 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

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 positions. This is a normal occur-

rence 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 sunroof open, adjust the sun-

roof opening 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

• 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
