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 death or 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.

4. Lock all the side doors and back doorwith the key or wireless remote control
transmitter. At this time, the TVIP indi-
cator light comes on.
The system will be set in 30 seconds.
When the system is set, the indicator
light will start flashing again.
5. Make sure that the indicator light flashes. Then you may leave the ve-
hicle.
Never leave anyone in the vehicle when
you set the system because unlocking
from the inside activates the alarm.
Activating the alarm
If the system detects a threat to the
vehicle, it sounds the alarm for one
minute while flashing headlights and
turn signal lights. Also, the interior
lights turn on when the interior light
switch is in the “DOOR” position.
The system detects a threat under any of
the following conditions:
Either of the front doors is unlocked by
means other than the key or wireless
remote control transmitter.
If the key is not in the ignition switch,
all the side doors and back door will
be automatically locked again.
Any of the side doors, back door or
glass hatch are forcibly opened.
The alarm will activate when the back
door is unlocked with a key. Cancel the
system before unlocking the back door.
The side windows are tapped or bro-
ken.
The battery terminal is disconnected
and then reconnected.
The ignition is hotwired.
After one minute, the alarm automatically
stops and the indicator light starts flashing
again.
Reactivating the alarm
Once set, until you cancel the system, the
system automatically resets the alarm af-
ter the alarm has stopped.
The alarm will activate again under the
same circumstances described in “Activat-
ing the alarm”.
Stopping the alarm
You can stop the alarm in either of the
following ways:
Unlock any of the side doors and back
door with the key or wireless remote
control transmitter.
Place the ignition switch in the “ON”
position. CANCELLING THE SYSTEM
You can cancel the system as described
in “Stopping the alarm”.
If you cancel the system by unlocking any
of the side doors but no door is opened
within 30 seconds, all the side doors and
back door lock automatically and the sys-
tem will be set again.
TESTING THE SYSTEM
You can check the system operation as
follows.
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the system as described in “SETTING THE SYSTEM”.
3. Unlock the driver’s door with the inside lock knob. The system should activate
and the alarm should sound.
4. Stop the alarm as described in “Stop- ping the alarm”.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the other doors. (For rear side doors, unlock and
then open the doors in step 3.)
