press the switch completely down, then

release. The window will fully open

automatically.

Windows

NOTE

The power window auto function will only

resume on a power window that has been

reset.

^ꢀyꢀDepending on driving conditions, a

closing power window could stop and

start opening when the window feels

a shock that is similar to something

blocking it.

^ꢀIn the event the jam-safe function

activates and the power window cannot

be closed automatically, pull and hold

the switch and the window will close.

^ꢀyꢀThe jam-safe window function does not

operate until the system has been reset.

1. Switch the ignition ON.

2. Make sure that the power window lock

switch located on the driver's door is

not depressed.

3. Press the switch and fully open the

window.

4. Pull up the switch to fully close the

window and continue holding the

switch for about 2 seconds after the

window fully closed.

Engine-off power window operation

The power window can be operated for

about 40 seconds after the ignition is

switched from ON to off with all doors

closed. If any door is opened, the power

window will stop operating.

Jam-safe window

If a person's hands, head or an object

blocks the window during the auto-closing

operation, the window will stop and open

halfway.

NOTE

WARNING

For engine-off operation of the power

window, the switch must be held up ﬁrmly

throughout window closure because the

auto-closing function will be inoperable.

Make sure nothing blocks the window

just before it reaches the fully closed

position or while holding up the power

window switch:

Blocking the power window just before

it reaches the fully closed position or

while holding up the power window

switch is dangerous.

In this case, the jam-safe function

cannot prevent the window from

closing all the way. If ꢀngers are

caught, serious injuries could occur.
