sumed. Check the batteries in the
transmitter. To replace the batteries,
see “Replacing transmitter batteries”.

nents.

tery, be careful not to lose the com-

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
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, make
sure that he/she operates 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 switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.

the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
