3Power windows The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch
that controls that door’s window.
However, the driver has a power window
lock switch which can block the operation
of the passenger windows.
If you notice buffeting and pulsation
(wind shock) with either side windows
opened, you should open the opposite
window slightly to reduce the condition.
CAUTION
To prevent the power window
system from the possibility ofdamage, do not open or close twowindows at the same time. This will also ensure the longevity ofthe fuse.
Never try to operate the main switch on the driver's door andthe individual door windowswitch in opposing directions atthe same time. If this is done, thewindow will stop and cannot be opened or closed.
WARNING
Make sure hands and face are safely out of the way before clos-
ing a window.
Do not allow children to play with the power windows. Keep the dri-
ver’s door power window lock
switch in the LOCK position

result from unintentional window
operation by the child.
Do not extend face or arms out- side through the window opening
while driving.

make sure all faces, arms, hands
and other obstructions are safely
out of the way before operating
the power window.
If an object less than 0.16 inch (4 mm) in diameter is caught
between the window glass and
the upper window channel, the
automatic reversal may not detect
the resistance and will not oper-
ate. Therefore, always check for
any obstructions before raising
