Power windows  
OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW  
Use the switch on the driver’s door.  
If the power window does not operate  
automatically or the jam protection  
function does not operate correctly, you  
should normalize the power window.  
Normal operation: The window moves as  
long as you hold the switch.  
To normalize the power window:  
To open: Lightly push down the switch.  
To close: Lightly pull up the switch.  
1. Push down the power window switch  
and lower the windows fully.  
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.  
2. Pull up the switch until the windows  
close and hold the switch for a second.  
Make sure that the window open and  
close automatically. If the power windows  
cannot be operated properly, have it  
checked by your Toyota dealer.  
Jam protection function: During automat-  
ic closing operation, the window stops and  
opens half way if something gets caught  
between the window and window frame.  
The windows can be operated with the  
switch on each door. The passengers’  
windows can also be controlled by the  
switches on the driver’s door.  
CAUTION  
D Never try jamming any part of your  
body to activate the jam protection  
function intentionally, as it could re-  
sult in a death or serious injury.  
If the window receives a strong impact,  
this function may work even if nothing is  
caught.  
The power windows work when the ignition  
switch is in the “ON” position.  
Key off operation: If the either front door  
is closed, they work for 45 seconds even  
after the ignition switch is turned off. They  
stop working when the either front door is  
opened.  
D The jam protection function may  
not work if something gets caught  
just before the window is fully  
closed.
