OPERATION OF INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS Keys and Doors -> Power windows for Your Toyota Prius 4 Door Second Generation (2004-2009)

Power windows  
If the 12 volt battery is disconnected or  
run down, the power window may not  
operate automatically and the jam protec-  
tion function will not function correctly af-  
ter you reconnect, replace or recharge the  
12 volt battery. In any of these cases, you  
should normalize the power window.  
To normalize the power window:  
1. Push down the power window switch  
and lower the window halfway.  
2. Pull up the switch until the window  
closes and hold the switch for a sec-  
ond.  
The windows can be operated with the  
switch on each 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.  
Make sure that the window opens and  
closes automatically. If the power window  
cannot be operated properly, have it  
checked by your Toyota dealer.  
The power windows work when the “IG  
ON” mode is enabled.  
Key off operation: If both front doors are  
closed, they work for 43 seconds even  
after the hybrid system is stopped. They  
stop working when either front door is  
opened.  
CAUTION  
Jam protection function: If something  
gets caught between the window and win-  
dow frame during automatic closing opera-  
tion or key off closing operation, the win-  
dow stops and opens halfway.  
Never try jamming any part of your  
body to activate the jam protection  
function intentionally, as it could re-  
sult in death or serious injury.  
OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW  
Use the switch on the driver’s door.  
If the window receives a strong impact,  
this function may work even if nothing is  
caught.  
The jam protection function may  
not work if something gets caught  
just before the window is fully  
closed.  
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.

Use the switch on each passenger’s  
door or the switches on the driver’s  
door that control each passengers’ win-

the driver’s door, the passengers’ windows  
cannot be operated.
