tion key is removed or turned to the ACC
or LOCK position. However, if the front
doors are opened, the power windows
cannot be operated even within 30 sec-
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.

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.

could result in loss of control, and
an accident causing death, seri-
ous injury, or property damage.
Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position of the

seatback or in any other way inter-
fering with proper locking of a

Always drive and ride with yourseatback upright and the lap por-
tion of the safety belt, or lap belt,
snug and low across the hips.
This position puts your safety
belts in the best position to pro-
tect you in case of an accident.
In order to avoid unnecessary air bag injuries including the possi-
bility of severe injury or death,
always sit as far back as possible
from the steering wheel while still
being able to maintain comfort-
able control of your vehicle.
The Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) rec-
ommends that the driver sit at
least 250 mm (10 inches) away
from the steering wheel to avoid
the risk of serious injury or death
due to the deployment of the dri-
ver’s air bag.
