Power windows (if equipped) The ignition switch must be in the ON position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch that controls that door’s window.
However, the driver has a power window lock switch which can block the operation of passenger windows.
NOTICE
While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if equipped)
in an open(or partially open position),
your vehicle may demonstrate a wind
buffeting or pulsation noise. This noise
is a normal occurrence and can be
reduced or eliminated by taking the following
actions. If the noise occurs with
one or both of the rear windows down,
partially lower both front windows
approximately one inch. If you experience
the noise with the snroof open,
slightly reduce the size of the sunroof
opening.
NOTICE
• To prevent the power window system
from the possibility of damage, do not
open or close two windows at the same
time. This will also ensure the longevity
of the fuse.
• Never try to operate the main switch on the driver's door and the individual door window switch in opposing directions at the same time. If this is done, the window will stop and cannot be opened or closed.
Window opening and closing The driver’s door has a master power window switch that controls all the windows in the vehicle. To open or close a window, press down (5) or pull up (5) the front portion of the corresponding switch.
Automatic power window down (driver’s window, if equipped) Depressing the power window switch momentarily to the second detent position (6) completely lowers the driver’s window even when the switch is released. To stop the window at the desired position while the window is in operation, pull up the switch momentarily to the opposite direction of the window movement.
Power window lock switch
(if equipped)
• The driver can disable the power window
switches on on all passenger
doors by depressing the power window
lock switch located on the driver’s door
to LOCK (pressed).
• When the power window lock switch is ON, the driver’s master control cannot operate the passenger door power windows either.
CAUTION - Windows
• Always double-check to make
sure all arms, hands, heads and
other obstructions are safely out
of the way before closing a window.
Serious injury could occur.
• Do not allow children to play with
the power windows. Keep the driver’s
door power window lock
switch in the LOCK position
(depressed). Serious injury can
result from unintentional window
operation by a child.
• Never extend face or arms outside through the window opening while driving.
Manual windows (if equipped) Use the window crank to open and close each window.
