The power window controls are located on the driver’s  
door trim panel. There is a single switch on the front  
passenger door, which operate the front passenger window  
and a single switch on each rear door that operates the rear

only when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position.

WARNING!  
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, and do  
not let children play with power windows. Do not  
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location  
accessible to children. Occupants, particularly unat-  
tended children, can become entrapped by the win-  
dows while operating the power window switches.  
Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.  
Auto-Down  
The window switches have an Auto-Down feature. Push  
the window switch for approximately one second, release,  
and the window will go down automatically. To cancel the  
Auto-Down movement, operate the switch in either the up  
or down direction and release the switch. To open the  
window part way, pull the window switch briefly, and  
release the switch when the window is in the desired  
position.

Auto-Up Feature With Auto-Reverse Protection — If  
Equipped  
Resetting The Auto-Up Feature  
Should the Auto-Up feature stop working, the window  
probably needs to be reset. To reset Auto-Up:  
Pull the window switch for approximately one second,  
release and the window will go up automatically.  
1. Pull the window switch up to close the window com-  
pletely and continue to hold the switch up for an  
additional two seconds after the window is closed.  
3
To stop the window during an Auto-Up operation, push or  
pull again the window switch.  
To close the window part way, pull the window switch  
briefly and release it when you want the window to stop.  
2. Push the window switch down to open the window  
completely and continue to hold the switch down for an  
additional two seconds after the window is fully open.  
NOTE:  
If the window runs into any obstacle during Auto-  
Closure, it will reverse direction and then go back down.  
Remove the obstacle and use the window switch again  
to close the window.  
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.  
Any impact due to rough road conditions may trigger  
the Auto-Reverse function unexpectedly during Auto-  
Closure. If this happens, pull the switch and hold to  
close the window manually.  
WARNING!  
There is no auto-reverse protection when the window  
is almost closed. Be sure to clear all objects from the  
window before closing.

POWER SUNROOF — IF EQUIPPED  
WARNING!  
The sunroof has two glass panels (the front one is opera-  
tional and the rear one fixed) and is equipped with an  
electrically operated sun blind.  
Never leave children alone 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. Occupants, particularly unattended chil-  
dren, can become entrapped by the power sunroof  
while operating the power sunroof switch. Such  
entrapment may result in serious injury or death.  
In a collision, there is 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  
properly secured too.  
The power sunroof and the power sun blind can be operated  
only with the ignition key turned to the MAR position.  
The power sunroof and power sun blind switches are  
located in the overhead console.  
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. Injury  
may result.  
Opening  
Push the power sunroof switch for approximately one  
second and the sunroof will stop at the vented position.  
Push the power sunroof switch a second time for approxi-  
mately one second and release, the sunroof will open fully,  
then stop automatically. This is called “Express Open”.
