To fully close the window automatically, pull the switch completely up, then release. The window will fully close automatically.
To stop the window partway, pull or press the switch in the opposite direction and then release it.
Power window system initialization procedure
If the battery was disconnected during vehicle maintenance, or for other reasons (such as a switch continues to be operated after the window is fully open/closed), the window will not fully open and close automatically.
The power window auto function will only resume on a power window that has been reset.
- Switch the ignition ON.
- Make sure that the power window lock switch located on the driver's door is not depressed.
- Press the switch and fully open the window.
- Pull up the switch to fully close the window and continue holding the switch for about 2 seconds after the window fully closed.
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.
| WARNING
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 fi ngers are caught, serious injuries could occur. |
NOTE
- Depending 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.
- The jam-safe window function does not operate until the system has been reset.
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.
NOTE 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.
