In cold and wet climates, power win-

dows may not work properly due to

freezing conditions.

Power windows

The ignition switch must be in the ON

position for power windows to oper-

ate. Each door has a power window

switch that controls the door’s win-

dow. The driver has a power window

lock switch which can block the oper-

ation 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 even within the 30 sec-

ond period.

✽✽

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 nor-

mal occurrence and can be reduced

or eliminated by taking the follow-

ing 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

(if equipped)

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)

Pressing 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 win-

dow at the desired position while the

window is in operation, momentarily

pull up the switch to the opposite

direction of the window movement.

Features of your vehicle

Auto up/down window (if equipped)

Pressing or pulling up the power win-

dow switch momentarily to the sec-

ond 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

press and release the switch to the

opposite direction of the movement.

If the power window is not operated

correctly, the automatic power win-

dow system must be reset as follows:

1.Turn the ignition switch to the ON

position.

2.Close the 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 win-

dow 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 11.8 in. (30 cm)

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 1 in. (2.5 cm).

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 rever-

sal will not operate.

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.

Power window lock button

(if equipped)

The driver can disable the power

window switches on the front and

rear passengers' doors by pressing

the power window lock switch to the

lock position.

When the power window lock switch

is pressed, the driver's master con-

trol cannot operate the front and rear

passengers' power windows.

Always double check to make sure

all arms, hands, head and other

obstructions are safely out of the way

before closing a window.

CAUTION - Opening /

closing Window

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.

WARNING - Power

windows

Do not allow children to play

with the power windows. Keep

the power window lock switch

(on the driver's door) in the

LOCK position.

WARNING

Always check for obstructions

before raising any window to

avoid injuries or vehicle dam-

age. If an object less than 0.16

in. (4 mm) 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 direc-

tion.
