Power windows  
OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW  
Use the switch on the driver’s door.  
Normal operation: The window moves as  
long as you hold the switch.  
To open: Lightly push down the switch.  
To close: Lightly pull up the switch.  
The windows can be operated with the  
switch on each side door.  
Automatic operation: Push the switch  
completely down or pull it completely up,  
and then release it. The window will fully  
open or close. To stop the window part-  
way, lightly move the switch in the oppo-  
site direction and then release it.  
The power windows work when the engine  
switch is in the “ON” position.  
Key off operation: If both front doors are  
closed, all the power windows work for 43  
seconds even after the engine switch is  
turned off. It stops working when either  
front door is opened.  
Jam protection function: During automat-  
ic closing operation or key off closing op-  
eration, the window stops and opens half  
way if something gets caught between the  
window and window frame.  
The indicator light (“AUTO”) on the switch  
tells you the switch can be operated.  
If the window receives a strong impact,  
this function may work even if nothing is  
caught.

down, the power window may not operate  
automatically and the jam protection func-  
tion will not function correctly after you  
reconnect, replace or recharge the battery.  
In any of these cases, you should normal-  
ize the power window.
