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.

the driver to operate the power
windows.

(except for the driver’s) press the

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”.
