Auto Up Feature with Anti-Pinch Protection
(Driver's and Front Passenger Door Only)
Lift the window switch to the second detent, release, and
the window will go up automatically.

Auto Up operation, push down on the switch briefly.
To close the window part way, lift the window switch to
the first detent and release when you want the window to
stop.
NOTE:If the window runs into any obstacle during the
auto-closure, it will reverse direction and then stop.
Remove the obstacle and use the window switch again to

tions may trigger the auto reverse function unexpectedly
during auto-closure. If this happens, pull the switch
lightly to the first detent and hold to close the window
manually.

is almost closed. Be sure to clear all objects from the
window before closing.

pletely, then pull and hold the switch for one second.
