Does anyone use the Tilt Feature on the Sunroof?

actually if you are driving with the sunroof tilt up, plenty of fresh air comes in. I use it on moderate days when it is sunny outside, but I don't want to turn on the AC.

If you have the sunroof tilted up and the AC control in [b]not[/] on recirculate, then the air flows out of the vents. It works very well. Also good for hot summer days, HEAT RISES!!

Well, when it's tilted up and the vehicle is in motion it will suck air out because of the pressure/velocity difference. You can feel the difference in air velocity coming out of the dash vents.

Over 30 mph with the roof at tilt try opening the right rear window one or two inches and see what happens. On a nice day only one thing could better could happen inside your car!

O.G.
I use the tilt function to get rid of hot air and preventing too much cold air from coming in during the winter (instead of opening the whole sunroof during freezing days).

I use it a lot up here in the Northwest. If it's wet out and I want fresh air, then I would rather vent the roof than to even crack the windows because they could let road grime in.

Not a Blowhole
If I have been eatoing tacos, and like the people in the back seat, then I use oit. If I do not like them, I do not...
Seriously, I use it a lot - I do not like A/C that much, and find that having the fresh air coming through the grills with the vent side of the sunroof tilted keeps the interior fresh without drafts. I like it. A must if you have smokers.

but I've been using the tilt this winter to get in some fresh air when it's in the 50 degree range

I use the tilt pretty often, especially after a long day at work when I smoke a cigar on the way home & its too cold to open the moonroof. I crack the rear windows open a couple of inches, tilt the moonroof and blow the smoke out through the opening. By the time I get home you can hardly tell I smoked a stogie.

I use as well, on both the 02 MAXSE (mine) and TLS(wifes), for looks as well as for air. It hegives you a decent amount of air flow when you dont want alot flowing in,

I rarely use Tilt as I found that the wind noise it too much for me... I use it only when the car is parked and/or going very slow... once hit the highway, I close it... or just slide it open....

I have to be honest, although I open my sunroof a lot, the actual tilt feature, I use it soley for the look. It gives the car an edge
