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 driv-  
er has a power window lock button 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 even within  
the 30 second period.

Window opening and closing  
Auto down window  
(Driver’s window, if equipped)  
The driver’s door has a master power  
window switch that controls all the win-  
dows in the vehicle.  
To open or close a window, press down  
or pull up the front portion of the corre-  
sponding switch to the first detent posi-  
tion (5).  
Pressing the power window switch  
momentarily to the second detent posi-  
tion (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, momentarily pull the switch in  
the direction opposite of the window’s  
movement.  
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 fol-  
lowing actions. If the noise occurs with  
one or both of the rear windows down,  
partially lower both front windows  
approximately one inch. If you experi-  
ence the noise with the sunroof open,  
slightly reduce the size of the sunroof  
opening.

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 posi-  
tion 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 win-  
dow channel, the automatic reverse  
window may not detect the resist-  
ance and will not stop and reverse  
direction.

OUN026013  
Automatic reversal  
Auto up/down window  
(Driver's window, if equipped)  
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.  
The distance may vary based on the size  
or position of the window. 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 auto-  
matic window reversal feature, the auto-  
matic window reversal will not operate.  
Pressing or pulling up the power window  
switch momentarily to the second detent  
position (6) completely lowers or raises  
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 down and  
release the switch.  
If the power window does not operate  
normally, the automatic power window  
system must be reset as follows:  
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON posi-  
tion.  
2. Close the driver’s window and contin-  
ue pulling up the driver’s power win-  
dow switch for at least 1 second after  
the window is completely closed.

CAUTION  
WARNING - Windows  
• 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 the opposite directions  
at the same time. If this is done,  
the window will stop and cannot  
be opened or closed.  
• NEVER leave the ignition key in  
the vehicle.  
• NEVER leave any child unattend-  
ed in the vehicle. Even very  
young children may inadvertently  
cause the vehicle to move, entan-  
gle 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 win-  
dow.

Power window lock button  
• The driver can disable the power win-  
dow switches on the passenger doors  
by pressing the power window lock but-  
ton located on the driver’s door to the  
LOCK position (pressed).  
• When the power window lock button  
is in the LOCK position (pressed),  
the driver’s master control cannot  
operate the passenger door power  
windows.  
• Do not allow children to play with  
the power windows. Keep the dri-  
ver’s door power window lock  
button in the LOCK position  
(pressed). Serious injury can  
result from unintentional window  
operation by the child.  
• Do not extend heads or any  
limbs outside the window while
