152 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE Sunshade Operation The sunshade can be opened manually. However, the sunshade will open automatically as the sunroof opens. NOTE: The sunshade cannot be closed if the sunroof is open. 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 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 opening to minimize the buffeting or open any window. Sunroof Maintenance Use only a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the glass panel. Ignition Off Operation The sunroof will also operate up to 45 seconds after the ignition has been turned off. The sunroof operation will be canceled if either of the front doors are opened during the 45 second time period. ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS - IF EQUIPPED There is a standard 12 Volt power outlet in the instrument panel and a 115 Volt (150 Watts Maximum) power outlet in the center console on certain models for added convenience. These outlets can power cell phones, electronics and other low power devices. NOTE: Due to overload protection the inverter will shut down if the power rating is exceeded.
