the window will move down until the bounce-back position is reached.

WARNING:Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle and
do not let children play with the power sliding back window.
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.
