Section 2 Features and Controls
2-1

Power Windows
If you have power windows, the controls are located on
each of the front doors. The driver’s door also has a
switch for the front passenger window. Your power
windows will not work unless the ignition is in RUN or
ACCESSORY.
Express-Down Window
The driver’s window switch also has an express-down
feature that allows you to lower the window without
holding the switch. Press the down arrow on the driver’s
window switch marked AUTO briey to activate the
express-down feature. The express-down feature can be
interrupted at any time by pressing the up arrow end of
the switch. Lightly tap the switch to open the window
slightly.
Sun Visors
To block out glare, you can swing down the visors.
You can also swing them from side to side. Your visors
may have an extension that can be pulled out for
additional glare protection.
Visor Vanity Mirror
Lift the mirror cover on each visor to turn the lamps on.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.
