The MAIN switch controls power to
the passenger's window. With thisswitch off, the passenger's window
cannot be raised or lowered. The
MAIN switch does not affect the driver's window. Keep the MAIN
switch off when you have children in
the car so they do not injure them- selves by operating the window
unintentionally.
The power window system has a key- off delay function. The windows will
still operate for up to ten minutes
after you turn off the ignition.
Opening either door cancels the
delay function. You must turn the
ignition ON (II) again before you can
raise or lower the windows.
