forward position. Any release of the switch will stop the
movement and the sunroof will remain in a partially closed
condition until the sunroof switch is pushed again.

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, then 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.

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.

Pinch Protect Feature

This feature will detect an obstruction in the closing of the
sunroof during the Express Close operation. If an obstruc-
tion in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof will
automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if this oc-
curs.

NOTE:

If three consecutive sunroof close attempts result in

Pinch Protect reversals, Pinch Protect will disable and the
sunroof must be closed in Manual Mode.

Venting Sunroof — Express

Push and release the Vent button within one half second
and the sunroof will open to the vent position. This is
called “Express Vent” and it will occur regardless of
sunroof position. During Express Vent operation, any
movement of the switch will stop the sunroof.

Sunroof Maintenance

Use only a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the
glass panel.

Relearn Procedure

For vehicles equipped with a single-pane sunroof, there is
a relearn procedure that allows you to reset the sunroof
when the “Express Open” feature stops working. To reset
the sunroof, follow these steps:

1. Set the ignition to the ACC or ON/RUN position.

2. Make sure that the sunroof is fully closed.

3. Push sunroof switch forward and hold. The sunroof will

close fully then move to the Vent position after 10
seconds.

4. Release the sunroof switch, then push forward and hold

the switch again within 5 seconds to begin the relearn
process. The sunroof will complete one full cycle and
return to the Fully Closed position.

NOTE:

If the sunroof switch is released anytime during the

relearn cycle, the procedure will need to be repeated
starting from the first step.

5. Once the sunroof has stopped in the Fully Closed

position, release the sunroof switch. The sunroof is now
reset and ready to use.

COMMANDVIEW SUNROOF WITH POWER SHADE
— IF EQUIPPED

The CommandView sunroof switch is located to the left
between the sun visors on the overhead console.

The power shade switch is located to the right between the
sun visors on the overhead console.

WARNING!

• Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Never leave the key
fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible
to children. Do not leave the ignition of a vehicle
equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly unattended
children, can become entrapped by the power sun-
roof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such
entrapment may result in serious injury or death.

• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown

from a vehicle with an open sunroof. You could also
be seriously injured or killed. Always fasten your
seat belt properly and make sure all passengers are
also properly secured.

• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof.

Never allow your fingers, other body parts, or any
object, to project through the sunroof opening. In-
jury may result.

closing or opening, the liftgate will automatically re-
verse to the closed or open position, provided it meets
sufficient resistance.

• There are also pinch sensors attached to the side of the

liftgate. Light pressure anywhere along these strips will
cause the liftgate to return to the open position.

Retractable Cargo Area Cover — If Equipped

NOTE:

The purpose of this cover is for privacy, not to

secure loads. It will not prevent cargo from shifting or
protect passengers from loose cargo.

To cover the cargo area:

1. Grasp the cover at the center handle. Pull it over the

cargo area.

2. Insert the pins on the ends of the cover into the slots in

the pillar trim cover.

3. The liftgate may be opened with the cargo cover in

In a collision, a loose cargo cover in the vehicle could
cause injury. It could fly around in a sudden stop and
strike someone in the vehicle. Do not store the cargo
cover on the cargo floor or in the passenger compart-
ment. Remove the cover from the vehicle when taken
from its mounting. Do not store it in the vehicle.

Rear Cargo Tie-Downs

The rear cargo tie-downs, located on the cargo area floor,
should be used to safely secure loads when the vehicle is
moving.

WARNING!

• To help protect against personal injury, passengers

should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear
cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes
only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and
use seat belts.

• Cargo tie-down hooks are not safe anchors for a child

seat tether strap. In a sudden stop or accident, a hook
could pull loose and allow the child seat to come
loose. A child could be badly injured. Use only the
anchors provided for child seat tethers.

The weight and position of cargo and passengers can
change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle han-
dling. To avoid loss of control resulting in personal
injury, follow these guidelines for loading your ve-
hicle:
• Do not carry loads which exceed the load limits

described on the label attached to the left door or left
door center pillar.

• Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put

heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible.

WARNING! (Continued)

• Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear

axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight
over or behind the rear axle can cause the rear of the
vehicle to sway.

• Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of

the seatback. This could impair visibility or become
a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or accident.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER — IF EQUIPPED

HomeLink replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that
operate devices such as garage door openers, motorized
gates, lighting or home security systems. The HomeLink
unit is powered by your vehicle’s 12 Volt battery.

The HomeLink buttons, located on the overhead console,
designate the three different HomeLink channels. The
HomeLink indicator is located above the center button.

NOTE:

HomeLink is disabled when the Vehicle Security

Alarm is active.

Before You Begin Programming HomeLink

Be sure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage
before you begin programming.

For more efficient programming and accurate transmission
of the radio-frequency signal it is recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device
that is being programmed to the HomeLink system.

programming HomeLink for the first time. Do not erase
channels when programming additional buttons.

• If you have any problems, or require assistance, please

call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at
HomeLink.com for information or assistance.

Programming A Rolling Code

For programming garage door openers that were manufac-
tured after 1995. These garage door openers can be identi-
fied by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where
the hanging antenna is attached to the garage door opener.

It is NOT the button that is normally used to open

and close the door. The name and color of the button may
vary by manufacturer.

1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm)

away from the HomeLink button you wish to program
while keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.

3. Push and hold the HomeLink button you want to

program while you push and hold the hand-held trans-
mitter button.
