can
be absorbed almost comple tely by cont aining IR

POWER WINDOW WITH SAFETY MECHA-
NISM
The power window with safety mechanism has been
adopted to automatically roll down and stop the door
window glass as soon as the occurrence of jamming
is detected at the time of rolling up the door window
glass.
SUNROOF WITH SA FETY MECHANISM
The sunroof with safe ty mechanism has been
adopted so that the roof lid glass can move in the
reverse direction and stop when application of exter
-
nal force hinders the movement during the sliding to
close or tilt down operation.
TRIMS AND HEADLINING
The head impact absorption structure has been
adopted for the pillar trim, quarter trim, and headlin
-
ing so that impact towards the head of a passenger
can be reduced.
