just before the window is fully closed. Be careful not to get any part of your
body jammed in the window.
■ Down jam protection function
●Never allow passengers to use hands, arms, cloths, etc., to intentionally
activate the down jam protection function.
● The down jam protection function may not work if a foreign object gets
caught just before the window completely opens. Be careful not to get
hands, arms, clothes, etc., caught in the window.
●Check to make sure that all passengers
do not have any part of their body in a
position where it could be caught when
