Both doors lock or unlock simultaneously.
CAUTION!
Before driving, be sure that the side
doors are closed and locked, espe-
cially when small children are in the
vehicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the side doors
helps prevent the driver and passen-
gers from being thrown out from the
vehicle during an accident. It also
helps prevent the side doors from
being opened unintentionally.
CAUTION!
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.

Always make sure the head, hands
and other parts of the body of all
occupants are kept completely in-
side the vehicle before you close
the power windows. If someone's
neck, head or hands gets caught in
a closing window, it could result in
serious in a serious injury. When
anyone closes the power windows,
be sure that they operate the win-
dows safely.

When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock button
to prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.

Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the
ignition key still inserted. They
could use the power window
switches and get trapped in a win-
dow. Unattended children can be-
come involved in serious acci-
dents.
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each side door.
The power windows work when the igni-
tion switch is in the ONº position. Howev-
er, if both side doors are closed, they work
for 60 seconds even after the ignition
switch is turned off. They stop working
when either side door is opened.
OPERATING THE DRIVER'S WINDOW
