3Power windows The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch
that controls that door’s window.
However, the driver has a power window
lock switch which can block the operation
of the passenger windows.
If you notice buffeting and pulsation
(wind shock) with either side windows
opened, you should open the opposite
window slightly to reduce the condition.
CAUTION
 To prevent the power window
system from the possibility ofdamage, do not open or close twowindows at the same time. Thiswill also ensure the longevity of the fuse.
 Never try to operate the main switch on the driver's door andthe individual door windowswitch in opposing directions atthe same time. If this is done, the window will stop and cannot beopened or closed.
WARNING
 Make sure hands and face are safely out of the way before clos-
ing a window.
 Do not allow children to play with the power windows. Keep the dri-
ver’s door power window lock
switch in the LOCK position

result from unintentional window
operation by the child.

the window will detect the resistance
and will stop upward movement. The
window will then lower approximately
150 mm (5.9 inches) to allow the object
to be cleared.

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.

not operate if the window is
raised using the first detent posi-
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.

to the driver and front passenger, adjust
the seat forward, backward, up and
down.

area could interfere with the oper-
ation of the foot pedals, possibly
causing an accident. Loose
objects might interfere with the
seat slide mechanism. Do not
place anything under the front
seats.
 The power seats are operable with the ignition OFF.
Therefore, children should never
be left unattended in the car.
WARNING
- Driver’s seat
 Never attempt to adjust the seatwhile the vehicle is moving. This
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. Storing items against a
seatback or in any other way inter-
fering with proper locking of a

tion of the safety belt, or lap belt,
snug and low across the hips.

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.
CAUTION

Excessive operation may damagethe electrical equipment.
 When in operation, the power seats consume large amounts ofelectrical power. To preventunnecessary charging system drain, don’t adjust the powerseats longer than necessarywhile the engine is not running.
 Do not operate two or more power seat control buttons at the sametime. Doing so may result inpower seat motor or electricalcomponent malfunction.
