Safety mechanism E00302500537
Door’s window
If

a hand or head is trapped in the closing power
window, it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the power window when closing a
power 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 power window is fully closed.
This allows the power window to close
completely. Therefore be especially care-
ful that no fingers are trapped in the pow-
er window.
NOTE l The

safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the power window 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 power window will
not close correctly.
In such a case, the following procedure
should be implemented to rectify this situa-
tion. Repeatedly raise the appropriate power
window switch until that power window has
been fully closed. Following this, release the
switch, raise the switch once again and hold
it in this condition for at least one second,
then release it. You should now be able to op-
erate the power window in the normal fashion.
Rear retractable power window
If

a hand or head is trapped in the closing rear re-
tractable power window, it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the rear retractable power window
when closing a rear retractable power 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 rear retractable power window is
fully closed. This allows the rear retracta-
ble power window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no fin-
gers are trapped in the rear retractable
power window.
NOTE l The

safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the rear retractable power window to
be subjected to a physical shock similar to
that caused by a trapped hand or head. Locking and unlocking

If
a hand or head is trapped in the closing sunroof,
it will reopen automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head
or hand out of the sunroof when opening or closing.
The opened sunroof will become operational after
a few seconds.

If the safety mechanism is activated 5 or more
times consecutively or the switch (1) is kept press-
ed for 10 seconds or longer with the sunroof station-
ary in the fully tilted up position, normal closing of
the sunroof will be aborted. In such an event, you
should take the following steps: 1. Press the switch (1) repeatedly until the sun-roof has been fully tilt up.
2. Once the fully tilt up position has been reached, press again and hold the switch (1)
for at least 3 seconds.

the sunroof.
NOTE l The safety mechanism can be activated if the
driving conditions or other circumstances
cause the sunroof to be subjected to a physi-
cal shock similar to that caused by a trapped
hand or head.
l Avoid stopping the sunroof before it reaches
the opening or closing end during operations.
If this should accidentally happen, repeat the
process from step 1. CAUTION
l
The
safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the sunroof is fully closed. This al-
lows the sunroof to close completely.

gers are trapped in the sunroof.

If the sunroof does not operate when the sun-
roof switch is operated, release the switch
and check whether something is trapped by
the sunroof. If nothing is trapped, we recom-
mend you to have the sunroof checked.

roof carriers, the sunroof may make contact
with the carrier when the sunroof is tilted up.
Be careful when tilting up the sunroof if such
a ski carrier or a roof carrier is installed.
l Be sure to close the sunroof completely
when washing the vehicle or when leaving
the vehicle.
l Be careful, not to put any wax on the weath-
erstrip (black rubber) around the sunroof
opening. If stained with wax, the weather-
strip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal
with the sunroof.
l After washing the vehicle or after it has
rained, wipe off any water that is on the sun-
roof before operating it.
l Operating the sunroof repeatedly with the en-
gine stationary will run down the battery. Op-
erate the sunroof while the engine is running. Locking and unlocking
