Power windows
The engine start/stop button must be in
the ON position for power windows to

Each door has a power window switch
that controls the door's window. The driv-
er has a power window lock switch which

buffeting or pulsation noise. This
noise is a normal occurrence and can be
reduced or eliminated by taking the fol-
lowing actions. If the noise occurs with

approximately one inch. If you expe-
rience the noise with the sunroof open,

If the upward movement of the window is
blocked by an object or part of the body,

while the power window switch is pulled
up continuously, the window will stop
upward movement then lower approxi-
mately 2.5 cm (1 in.). And if the power
window switch is pulled up continuously
again within 5 seconds after the window

reversal feature, the automatic window
reversal will not operate.

the switch. The automatic reverse fea-
ture will not operate if the window is

dow channel, the automatic reverse
window may not detect the resist-
ance and will not stop and reverse
direction.
