If the switch is pressed and held to the normal open or ONE TOUCH
DOWN position during a ONE TOUCH UP event, the window will stop. If,
after 1/2 second the switch is still held, the window will perform a
normal open or ONE TOUCH DOWN.
Bounce-Back (Driver’s window only)
When an obstacle has been detected in the window opening as the
window is moving upward, the window will automatically reverse
direction and move down. This is known as “bounce-back”. If the ignition
is turned off (without accessory delay being active) during bounce-back,
the window will move down until the bounce-back position is reached.
Security Override
To override a bounce-back condition, within two seconds after the
window reaches the bounce-back position, pull and hold the switch up
andthe window will travel up with no bounce-back or pinch
protection.If the switch is released before the window is fully closed,
the window will stop. For example, this can be used to overcome the
resistance of ice on the window or seals.
Window lock
The window lock feature allows only
the driver to operate the power
windows.
To lock out all the window controls
(except for the driver’s) press the
right side of the control. Press the
left side to restore the window
controls.
Accessory delay
With accessory delay, the audio system, power windows and moon roof
(if equipped) operate for up to 10 minutes after the ignition switch is
turned from the on to the off position or until either front door is
opened.
Power down back window
To operate the power down back window, the ignition switch must be in
the on or accessory position (or with accessory delay power enabled).

They may seriously injure themselves.
Normal operation
When the power down back window is opened, it will stop in the vent
position. When the window is closed from full open, it will not stop in
the vent position. When the power down back window is in motion, the
control switch can be pressed to change the window direction and move
it to the closest position.
If the power down back window is moving up and the ignition is
switched to off (without accessory delay power enabled) the window will
reverse direction and move down to either the full open or vent position.
If the window is within 0.16 in. (4 mm) of the upper header, it will
completely close.
Bounce-back
When the back window is moving toward the fully closed position and an
obstacle interferes with the window’s movement, the back window will
reverse direction and move toward the fully open position. This is known
as “bounce-back”.

Security override
If, during a bounce-back condition and within two seconds after the
window stops, the control is held in the closed direction,the back
window will travel closed with no bounce-back protection.If the
control is released before the window reaches fully closed, the back
window will continue moving with bounce-back re-enabled.
The following are possible reasons for using the security override:
•Ice on the window causing a restriction.
•Window unexpectedly reverses.
Position recovery mode
If the motor loses position and stops mid travel, the motor will respond
to switch inputs by moving 0.6 in. (15 mm) each switch command in the
up direction only. Down will be a one touch down operation. If the
window is stalled in the down position and there are no other system
faults, the motor shall relearn its position and resume full functionality. If
there is a feedback signal loss, the window will remain in its 0.6 in.
(15 mm) travel mode with each switch command and will not recover
full functionality. This will allow you to “inch” the window up to the fully
closed position. If the window does not operate correctly, see your dealer
for service.
