Power 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 passenger windows.
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 the 30
seconds after the ignition key removal.✽ ✽NOTICE• If you notice buffeting and pulsation
(wind shock) with either side window
open, you should open the opposite
window slightly to reduce the condi-
tion.
• In cold and wet climates, power win- dows may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.WINDOWS

tem from the possibility of dam-age, do not open or close twowindows at the same time. This will also ensure the longevity ofthe fuse.
