Programming the Power
Windows
If the battery on the vehicle has
been recharged or disconnected,
or is not working, the windows with
the express-up feature will need to
be reprogrammed for the feature to
work. If power is lost, the rear
windows must be reprogrammed
first. Before reprogramming, replace
or recharge the vehicle's battery.
To program a window:1. With the ignition in ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY, or when
Retained Accessory Power
(RAP) is active, close all doors.
2. Pull and hold the power window switch until the window
is fully closed. Continue
holding the switch up for
approximately five seconds
after the window is completely
closed.
3. Press the power window switch down until the window is fully
open. Continue holding the switch down for approximately
five seconds after the window
is completely open.
The window is now reprogrammed.
Repeat the process for the other
windows.

If the window freezes to the door,
push the top of the window inward
while opening the door. Clear all the
snow and ice from the door and
glass.
Then open the window completely
and then close it.
The door can now be closed.
When fully closed, indexing
automatically lowers the window a
small amount when the door is
opened. When the door is closed,
the window will raise to its previous
position. If either window does not
index properly, it could be due to
loss of power. Before seeing your
dealer for service program the
power windows.

hold
Kon the RKE transmitter.
