dows in the vehicle. To open or close a
window, press down or pull up the front
portion of the corresponding switch.
Automatic power windowDepressing or pulling up the power win-
dow switch momentarily to the second

released. To stop the window at the
desired position while the window is in
operation, pull up or depress the switch
momentarily to the opposite direction of
the window movement.
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, the automatic power win-
dow system must be reset as follows:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON position.
2. Close each window and continue pulling up on each power window
switch for at least 0.5 second after the

If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body,
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.

Power window lock switch The driver can disable the power win-
dow switches on a passenger door by
depressing the power window lock
switch located on the driver’s door to
LOCK (pressed).
 When the power window lock switch is ON, the driver’s master control cannot
operate the passenger door power
windows either.
Power window timer (if equipped)The power windows can be operated for
approximately 30 seconds after the igni-
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.
Automatic window reversal will
not operate if the window is
raised using the first detent posi-
tion (
➄) on the power window
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

 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.

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.
