If your vehicle has power window switches, they are
located on the armrest on the driver’s door. In addition,
each passenger door has a window switch.
Express ‘Down vvinaow
The driver’s window switch has an express down
feature. This switch is labeled
AUTO. Press the rear of
the switch slightly down, and the driver‘s window will
open a small amount.
If the rear of the switch is pressed
all the way down, the window will go all the way down. To stop the
window while it is lowering, press the front
of the switch.
To raise the window, press and hold
the front of the switch.
Window Lockout
On four-door models, the driver’s power window
controls also include a window lockout. When the
lockout switch is moved to the left, the driver and
passengers will be able to use their window switches.
Move the lockout switch to the right to stop the
passengers from using their window switches. The
driver can still operate
all of the windows with the

Outside Power Mirrors
If your vehicle has power
mirrors these controls
are located on the
driver’s door.
To choose the mirror you want to adjust by moving the
selector switch located above the four-way control
pad to the right or to the left. Then use the arrows on
the control pad
to move the mirror in the desired
direction. Adjust each mirror
so that you can see a little
comfortable driving position.

Outside Convex Mirror
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. A convex
mirror’s surface
is curved so you can see more from the
driver’s seat.
A convex mirror can make things (like o ?r
vehicles)
look farther away than they really are.
If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you
could hit a vehicle on your right. Check your
inside mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes.
