Passengers’ doors
Power windows

23
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each side door. The passen-
gers’ windows can also be controlled
by the switches on the driver’s door.
The power windows work when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
Normal operation: The window moves as
long as you hold the switch.
To open: Push down the switch.
To close: Pull up the switch.
If you push in the window lock switch on
the driver ’s door, the passengers’ windows
cannot be operated.
Automatic operation (to open the driv-
er ’s window): Push the switch completely
down and then release it. The window will
fully open. To stop the window partway,
lightly pull the switch up and then release
it.CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Before you close the power win-
dows, always make sure there is
nobody around the power windows.
You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in death or serious in-
jury. When anyone closes the power
windows, make sure he or she op-
erates the windows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.

CLOSING THE GLASS HATCH
Lower the glass hatch and push the
lower center of it until it is locked.
When you open the back door with the
glass hatch opened, the glass hatch will
be closed. After closing the back door,
you should check the glass hatch fully
closed.
See “—Stowage precautions” on page 203
in Section 2 for precautions when loading
luggage.
CAUTION
Keep the back door and glass hatch
closed while driving. This not only
keeps the luggage from being thrown
out but also prevents exhaust gases
from entering the vehicle.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the back door
and glass hatch dampers, do not ap-
ply any force, paint or let any other
foreign matter on them.
