here are some things to know.

The controls are near
each window. Here’s
how the master control
works.
Your vehicle has Retained Accessory Power

vehicle and turn the ignition key to “Off”, you can still use your power
windows. The electrical power
to operate the windows will not shut off
until you open a door or 10 minutes has passed. If you want this power
for another
10 minutes, just turn the key to “Run” and back to “Off”.

way down. If
you want to stop the window as it is going down, press the
switch again.
