be rendered inoperative by the ON/OFF
switch in the panel on the center console.
When the switch is ON, the rear side win-
dows can be operated by the switch on each
rear door. The rear door switches have an
integrated indicator lamp that indicates
when the switches are operational.
When the switch is OFF, the rear side win-
dows can only be operated from the panel
on the center console. The indicator lamps
are extinguished when the switches are not
operational.

tion and return the lever to the locked status.
Horn signalThe horn is operated by pressing at the
outer edges of the airbag module in the
center of the steering wheel.

tionary.
