NOTE l The
driver’s
switch can always open or close
any door windows. WARNING
l A
child
may
tamper with the switch at
the risk of its hands or head being trap-
ped in the window. When driving with a
child in the vehicle, please press the win-
dow lock switch to disable the passen-
ger’s switches. NOTE
l It
is possible
to prevent the driver’s door
switches from being used to open and close
the front passenger’s door window and rear
door windows (5-door models) while the
lock switch is pressed in the “LOCK” position.
For details, we recommend you to consult a

Timer function E00302400712
The door windows can be opened or closed for 30
seconds after the
ignition switch is turned from the
“ON” position to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
If the driver’s door is opened during this period,
the door window can be opened or closed for anoth-
er 30 seconds.
However, once the driver’s door is closed, the win-
dows cannot be operated.
Safety mechanism E00302500218
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing window,
it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure
that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the window when closing a window.
The lowered window will become operational after
a few seconds. WARNING
l If the
safety
mechanism is activated three
or more times successively, the safety
mechanism will be temporarily cancelled.
If a hand or head got trapped, a serious
injury could result. CAUTION
l
The safety mechanism
is cancelled just be-
fore the window is fully closed. This al-
lows the window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the window.
NOTE l The
safety mechanism
can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the door windows to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by a trap-
ped hand or head.
l If the safety mechanism is activated three or
more times in a row, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled and the door window will
not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion. If the window is open, repeatedly raise
the appropriate window switch until that win-
dow has been fully closed. Following this, re-
lease the switch, raise the switch once again
and hold it in this condition for at least 1 sec-
ond, then release it. You should now be able
to operate all windows in the normal fashion. Locking and unlocking
