OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

WIND BUFFETING

• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffet-

ing occurs with the windows down, adjust one or both windows up or down

slightly.

• If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust

any window. This will minimize buffeting.

• To prevent possible engine damage while starting at low temperatures, this

vehicle will inhibit engine cranking when the ambient temperature is less than

–22° F (–30° C) and the oil temperature sensor reading indicates an engine block

heater has not been used. An externally-powered electric engine block heater is

available as optional equipment or from your authorized dealer.

• The message "plug in engine heater" will be displayed in the instrument cluster

when the ambient temperature is below 5° F (–15° C) at the time the engine is

shut off as a reminder to avoid possible crank delays at the next cold start.
