all the way down.
To stop the window while it is lowering, move the
switch forward. To raise the window, move and hold
the switch forward.
Lock-Out Switch
The driver's power window controls also include a
lock-out switch. Press
LOCK to stop front and rear
passengers from using their window switches. The
driver can still control all the windows with the lock on.

lever located on the left side of the steering column.
Move the steering wheel to a comfortable level, then
release the lever to lock
the wheel in place.
