When an obstacle has been detected in the window opening as the
window is moving upward, the window will automatically reverse
direction and move down. This is known as“bounce-back”. If the ignition
is turned OFF (without accessory delay being active) during
bounce-back, the window will move down until the bounce back position
is reached.
Security Override
If during a bounce-back condition, the switch is released to the neutral
position, then held in the one touch up position within two seconds after
the window reaches the bounce-back position,the window will travel
up with no bounce-back protection.If the switch is released before
the window reaches fully closed or the ignition is turned OFF (without
accessory delay being active), the window will stop. Security override
can be used if the window movement is restricted in some way, for
example, if there is ice on the window or seals.

the driver to operate the rear power
windows.
To lock out the rear window

to ten minutes after the ignition switch is turned from the ON to the

glare. When the auto-dimming mirror is turned on, it will automatically
return to the normal high-reflective state whenever the vehicle is placed
in reverse (R) to ensure a clear view while backing up.

the AUTO button indicates if the
mirror is in the auto-dimming
