Continuous Automatic Operation
This is activated by pushing one of the two buttons for
longer than half a second. The window will stop when
it is fully opened, or when the button is pushed again.
It can be used on both the driver side and passenger
side, only for lowering the window.
Electric Window System Reset
After a break in power supply for the control units
(battery replaced or disconnected or protective fuses for
the electric window control units replaced), the auto-
matic operation of the windows must be restored.
The restoration procedure must be performed as de-
scribed below with the doors closed:
1. Completely open the driver’s door window keepingthe operating button pushed for at least three sec-
onds after the (lower) end of travel position is
reached.
2. Completely raise the driver side window and hold the button down for at least three seconds once the
(upper) end of travel position has been reached. 3. Proceed in the same way as described in points 1 and
2 for the passenger side door.
4. Make sure that the reset is correct by checking that the windows work automatically.
WARNING!
Improper actuation of the power windows may be
dangerous. Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, and do not let children play with power
windows. Before and during window operation
make sure no one and no object (including cloth-
ing) is in the path of the moving glass or its
mechanism. Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to children.
Occupants, particularly unattended children, can
become entrapped by the windows while operating
the power window switches. Such entrapment may
result in serious injury or death.

The power outlet is located on the central tunnel,
between the two cup holders. It only operates with the
ignition key at MAR/ON.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Only devices designed for use in this type of
outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use and while driving
the vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an
electric shock and failure.
CAUTION!
•Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not
in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these inter-
mittently and with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.

•When the “Trip distance” reaches 99999.9 kilometers
(621370 miles) or when the “Travel time” reaches
99.59 (99 hours and 59 minutes), the system is reset
automatically.
• Disconnecting/Reconnecting the battery resets the
system.
NOTE: If the reset operation occurs in the presence of
the screens concerning Trip A or Trip B, only the
information associated with Trip A or Trip B functions
will be reset.
Start Of Trip Procedure
With the ignition on, push and hold the TRIPbutton for
over 2 seconds to reset trip information.
Exit Trip
To exit the Trip function, wait until all the values have
been displayed or hold the MENUbutton for longer
than one second.

the menu screen or push and hold the MENU(approxi-
mately one second) to go back to the main screen
without storing settings.

Preparations For Jump-Start
The battery in your vehicle is located on the left side of
the engine compartment. To access the battery remove
the protective cover.
WARNING!
•Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, watch
bands and bracelets that could make an inadver-
tent electrical contact. You could be seriously
injured.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your
skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas which is
flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or
sparks away from the battery.
NOTE: Be sure that the disconnected ends of the cables
do not touch while still connected to the other vehicle.
1. Firmly apply the parking brake, and turn the ignition OFF.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary elec- trical accessories.
3. To remove the protective cover off the battery, pull upward on the cover.
4. If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, set
the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this
could establish a ground connection and personal
injury could result.
