Power windows
The ignition switch must be in the ON position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch that controls the door's window. The driver has a power window lock switch which can block the operation of passenger windows. The power windows can be operated for approximately 30 seconds after the ignition key is removed or turned to the ACC or LOCK position. However, if the front doors are opened, the power windows cannot be operated within the 30 second period after ignition key removal.
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 sunroof open,
slightly reduce the size of the sunroof
opening.
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 or pull up the front portion of the corresponding switch to the first detent position (5).
Auto down window (if equipped) (Driver’s window)
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.
Auto up/down window (if equipped) (Driver’s window)
Depressing or pulling up the power window switch momentarily to the second detent position (6) completely lowers or lifts the window even when the switch is released. To stop the window at the desired position while the window is in operation, pull up or depress and release the switch to the opposite direction of the movement.
If the power window is not operated correctly, the automatic power window system must be reset as follows: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Close driver’s window and continue pulling up on the driver’s power window switch for at least 1 second after the window is completely closed.
Automatic reversal
If the upward movement of the window is blocked by an object or part of the body, the window will detect the resistance and will stop upward movement. The window will then lower approximately 30 cm (11.8 in.) to allow the object to be cleared.
If the window detects the resistance while the power window switch is pulled up continuously, the window will stop upward movement then lower approximately 2.5 cm (1 in.). And if the power window switch is pulled up continuously again within 5 seconds after the window is lowered by the automatic window reversal feature, the automatic window reversal will not operate.
NOTICE:
The automatic reverse feature for the
driver’s window is only active when the
“auto up” feature is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automatic
reverse feature will not operate if the
window is raised using the halfway position
on the power window switch.
WARNING:
Always check for obstructions
before raising any window to avoid
injuries or vehicle damage. If an
object less than 4 mm (0.16 in.) in
diameter is caught between the
window glass and the upper window
channel, the automatic reverse
window may not detect the resistance
and will not stop and reverse
direction.
Power window lock button
• The driver can disable the power window switches on the 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.
CAUTION:
• To prevent possible damage to
the power window system, do not
open or close two windows or
more 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.
WARNING:
- Windows.
• NEVER leave the ignition key in the vehicle.
• NEVER leave any child unattended in the vehicle. Even very young children may inadvertently cause the vehicle to move, entangle themselves in the windows, or otherwise injure themselves or others.
• Always double check to make sure all arms, hands, head and other obstructions are safely out of the way before closing a window.
• 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 the child.
• Do not extend any head or arms outside through the window opening while driving.
