CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle in an accident. It also helps pre-
vent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.
The windows can be operated with the
switch on each door. The passengers’
windows can also be controlled by the
switches on the driver ’s door.
The power windows work when the engine
switch is in the “ON” position.
Key off operation: If the either front door
is closed, they work for 45 seconds even
after the engine switch is turned off. They
stop working when the either front door is
opened. OPERATING THE DRIVER’S WINDOW

Normal operation:
The window moves as
long as you hold the switch.
To open: Lightly push down the switch.
To close: Lightly pull up the switch.
Automatic operation: Push the switch
completely down or pull it completely up,
and then release it. The window will fully
open or close. To stop the window part-
way, lightly move the switch in the oppo-
site direction and then release it.
Jam protection function: During automat-
ic closing operation, the window stops and
opens half way if something gets caught
between the window and window frame.

this function may work even if nothing is
caught.

away from the roof opening. Failure
to do so may result in death or
serious injury if the vehicle stops
