pushing the corresponding switch on
the console. These switches are backlit
for night time visibility. To turn the lights
off, push the switch a second time.Note:
Before getting out of the vehicle,

when the doors are locked.
Timing is interrupted when the ignition
is turned to ON. Three Modes Are Provided For
Switching Off:
When all doors are closed after
entering the vehicle, the three-minute
timer will stop and a seconds timer will
start for the interior lights. This timing
will stop when the ignition is turned to
ON.
When doors are locked (either with
key fob or with key inserted on driver
side door), the overhead light turns off.
The interior lights will turn off after
15 minutes to preserve the battery.
Timing While Getting Out Of The
Vehicle — After turning the ignition
switch to STOP, the overhead lights will
turn on as follows:
For a few seconds after the engine
stops.
For approximately three minutes
when one of the doors is opened.

POWER WINDOWS
Power Window Switches
The power window switches work with
the ignition in the ON position and for
three minutes after the ignition has
been placed in the STOP position.
When one of the front doors is opened,
this operation is disabled.
Driver Side Front Door Controls
The switches are located on the door
panel trim. All windows can be
controlled from the driver side door
panel.Window Opening
Briefly push the window switch once to
move the window downward.
Push the switch a second time to
activate the automatic operation.
Pushing the switch a third time will stop
the window in the desired position.
Window Closing
Pull the window switch up to move the
window upward. Hold the switch for at
least half of a second and the window

Door Controls
There are single window controls on the
passenger and rear door trim panels
which operate the door windows.
Auto-Up Feature With Anti-Pinch
Protection — If Equipped
The vehicle is equipped with an
anti-pinch safety device for closing the
windows.
If the safety system senses any
obstacle while the window is closing, it
will stop the window’s movement and
reverse it, depending on its position.
This device is also useful if the windows
are activated accidentally by children on
board the vehicle.The anti-pinch safety function is
activated both during the manual and
the automatic operation of the window.
When the anti-pinch system is
activated, the window closing is
immediately interrupted. Then the
window closing is automatically
reversed and the window lowers by
about eight inches (20 cm) in relation to
the first stop position. The window
cannot be operated during this time.
Note:
In the event of an error, or if the
anti-pinch protection is activated three
consecutive times, the automatic
closing operation of the window will be
deactivated. In order to restore the
correct operation of the system, the
window must be lowered.
Power Window System Initialization
If power supply is interrupted, the
electric window automatic operation
must be initialized once more.
The initialization procedure described
below must be carried out for each
door (with the doors closed):
1. Fully close the window to be
initialized, with manual operation.
2. After the window has been closed,
hold the up switch for at least three
seconds.

Warning!
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, and do not let children play with
power windows. 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.
POWER SUNROOF —
IF EQUIPPED
Power Sunroof
The power sunroof consists of two
glass panels (the front one is mobile
and the rear one fixed) and is fitted with
two power operated sun shades.
Operation of the sunroof is only
possible with the ignition at AVV. Refer
to “Ignition” in this chapter for further
information.
Warning!
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. Never leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. Do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with keyless ignition in the
AVV or ON mode. Occupants, particularly
unattended children, can become
entrapped by the power sunroof while
operating the power sunroof switch. Such
entrapment may result in serious injury or
death.
In a collision, there is a greater risk of
being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be seriously injured
or killed. Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are
also properly secured.
Do not allow small children to operate
the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object, to project
through the sunroof opening. Injury may
result.
Opening

double locking system, one for each
side, you must check that it is closed
on both its side ends.
Warning!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before
driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is
in motion and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
