The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for power windows to operate.
Each door has a power window switch
that controls the door's window. The driv-
er has a power window lock button which
can block the operation of passenger
windows. The power windows can be
operated for approximately 30 seconds
after the ignition key is removed or turned
to the ACC or LOCK position. However, if
the front doors are opened, the power
windows cannot be operated even within
the 30 second period.
The driver’s door has a master power
window switch that controls all the win-
dows in the vehicle.
✽✽NOTICE
While driving with the rear windows
down or with the sunroof (if equipped) in
an open (or partially open position), your

ing or pulsation noise. This noise is a
normal occurrence and can be reduced
or eliminated by taking the following
actions. If the noise occurs with one or
both of the rear windows down, partially

ly one inch. If you experience the noise
with the sunroof open, slightly reduce the
size of the sunroof opening.
