switch located on the driver’s door to
LOCK (pressed).
 When the power window lock switch is ON, the driver’s master control cannot

tion key is removed or turned to the ACC
or LOCK position. However, if the front
doors are opened, the power windows

onds after the ignition key is removed.
WARNING
 The automatic window reversal feature (window lowers 150 mm
[5.9 inches] when a resistance is
detected) will only operate when
the automatic power window up
operation feature is used.

tion (

switch. Always double check to
make sure all faces, arms, hands
and other obstructions are safely
out of the way before operating
the power window.
 If an object less than 4 mm (0.16 inch) in diameter is caught
between the window glass and
the upper window channel, the
automatic reversal may not detect
the resistance and will not oper-
ate. Therefore, always check for
any obstructions before raising
any window.

ous injury, or property damage.
 Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position of the

the risk of serious injury or death
due to the deployment of the dri-
ver’s air bag.
