Power windows (if equipped)
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to oper-
ate. Each door has a power window
switch that controls that door’s win-
dow. However, the driver has a power
window lock switch which can block
the operation of passenger windows.
If you notice buffeting and pulsation
(wind shock) with either side window
open, you should open the opposite
window slightly to reduce the condi-tion.
✽✽NOTICE
To prevent the power window sys-
tem from the possibility of damage,
do not open or close two windows at
the same time. This will also ensurethe longevity of the fuse.
Manual windows (if equipped)
Use the window crank to open and
close each window.
CAUTION
Make sure heads and hands are safely out of the waybefore closing a window.
Do not allow children to play with the power windows. Keepthe driver’s door power win-dow lock switch in the LOCK position (depressed). Seriousinjury can result from uninten-tional window operation by the child.
Do not extend face or arms outside through the windowopening while driving.
Always double check to make sure all arms, hands and otherobstructions are safely out of the way before closing a win-dow.

ponents. Their locations are shown in
